Not sure where this fits into the release process, but I uploaded a git
snapshot to Debian of guix from commit
c07b55eb94f8cfa9d0f56cfd97a16f2f7d842652 ... ppc64le still has not built
yet, and it has the same test suite failures on two 32-bit architectures
(i386 and armhf):

  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=guix&arch=armhf&ver=1.3.0%2B26756.c07b5-1&stamp=1666838910&raw=0
  https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=guix&arch=i386&ver=1.3.0%2B26756.c07b5-1&stamp=1666825176&raw=0

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU Guix 1.3.0.26756-c07b5
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 2286
# PASS:  2002
# SKIP:  274
# XFAIL: 4
# FAIL:  6
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
============================================================================

All 6 of the failures have the same error:

test-name: channel-news, no news
...
actual-error:
+ (git-error
+   #<<git-error> code: -1 message: "invalid version 0 on git_proxy_options" class: 3>)
result: FAIL


Would love to figure out these issues in time for release!


Good news is it built reproducibly (at least on amd64; i386, armhf and
arm64 pending):

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/guix.html

This is partly because the Debian package works around
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/20272 by disabling parallelism in the
build. Sure would be nice if guix was reproducible when built with Guix
too!
