The latest core-updates evaluation is coming together [0], but there are
still a few notable issues:

* Pandas is failing to build:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/python2-pandas-0.19.2.x86_64-linux

* CLISP is failing to build, which breaks SBCL:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/clisp-2.49-60.x86_64-linux

* Several packages are failing due to changes in ICU related to type
definitions. For example, evolution-data-server is failing to build,
which breaks GNOME:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/evolution-data-server-3.24.3.x86_64-linux

* ant-bootstrap failed to build, breaking most (all?) of the Java
packages. This is being discussed in <https://bugs.gnu.org/30107>. I
can't retry the ant-bootstrap build because the package is not public,
so there is no corresponding job on Hydra. An example:

https://hydra.gnu.org/build/2443807

* And more!

Why not check if the packages you rely on are working on core-updates?
These are the packages that fail compared to the master branch:
