I’ve just restarted it, and now it looks as succeeding.

Offloading failed in some way.  hydra.gnunet.org was down for some time,
so perhaps we hit that just at this moment.  Or some networking issue
occurred just as we were retrieving the build outputs to hydra.gnu.org
(although these are normally distinguished from permanent build
failures, and marked as aborted.)  Or there’s a bug in the offload hook.

This is clearly an annoyance.  We must keep monitoring Hydra to see if
there’s any clue of an actual bug or setup issue.
