bug#44881: glib build fail for armhf

[Mathieu Othacehe]

Hello,

The glib build is broken on armhf due to a timeout in the test suite,
see:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/log/m6rd864j30khc6k60gr2wqr1pz40f1di-glib-2.62.6-bin.

It looks like it's also broken on the 1.2.0 branch.

This prevents the evaluation of the guix-modular specification, see:
https://ci.guix.gnu.org/eval/19035/log/raw. I disabled the armhf-linux
system for that specification until this is understood.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Yeah.  We were discussing it with Chris Baines on IRC.  My hypothesis is
that those tests time out on low-end ARMv7 devices (like
guix-x15.sjd.se).

Previously, we were building them on the more powerful OverDrives
probably, and indeed, the tests pass there.  Berlin now has a substiute
for this one built on an OverDrive.

I think we can re-enable it now?

Thanks,

Sure, I enabled it again. Maybe we should consider disabling those tests
on core-updates then.

Thanks,
