Using Guix "guix (GNU Guix) cf9904bcc8dd03e73675475bb4d8746dc434e415"
on and Alpine Linux, aarch64 system,
and calling
"guix build --no-substitutes --check elfutils"
fails with:

Thanks for the report.

Using Guix cf9904bcc8dd03e73675475bb4d8746dc434e415 or recent
6113e0529d61df7425f64e30a6bf77f7cfdfe5a5, it seems to build on two build
farms:

Is it possible that these failures are hardware dependent?

The failures are about:
