It built successfully for me on a similar environment from Guix Git
commit 1f45f18abe487be85c290227256690a3f32f7874.

$ uname -a
Linux computer 4.9.10 #12 SMP Thu Feb 16 02:10:37 EST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I built it on btrfs and ext4 filesystems.

Variables from your user's environment are not propagated into the build
environment.

The build tree kept by '--keep-failed' will include a copy of the
build's environment in the file 'environment-variables'. But I'm not
sure if it's relevant.

The only debugging suggestion I have is to make sure that your clock is
correct. Test suites that do certificate verification should take care
not to break in the future, but perhaps it's less common for test
authors to handle the case of a clock set to the past.

Beyond that, did you find anything relevant on the upstream bug tracker?
