I checked this already before, the attached header file looks good
(maybe not XKM_OUTPUT_DIR in the long run, but I thought that for the
tests that should be fine). Wait, could this be a typo in the build system?
One would rather expect XKB_OUTPUT_DIR with a B instead of an M.

Running xtest outside of the chroot of the guix build system, there is an
error message that xkbcomp does not find the file evdev, which is part of
the xkeyboard-config package. So I added a configure flag
       (list (string-append "--with-xkb-config-root="
                            (assoc-ref %build-inputs "xkeyboard-config")
                            "/share/X11/xkb"))))
to xkbcomp. Now xkeyboard-config needs xkbcomp, so I added an additional
package xkbcomp-tmp to build xkeyboard-config, then the final xkbcomp can
use xkeyboard-config as an input. See the attached patch.

From guix, the tests fail with the same error message as before.

When I become root outside the chroot, source the environment variables and
run ./xtest, the tests succeed. The strace output ends like this:

So it looks like XKM is the right prefix in the header file, since a file
named /tmp/server-(null).xkm is used.
