bug#51447: Guile-gi fails a few tests on core-updates-frozen

[Vivien Kraus via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

Dear guix,

For my program, I depend on guile-gi. However, the test/string.scm test
contains some characters that are not recognized by guile (I suggest
using (call-with-input-string "<the character>" read-char) instead of
#\<the character>), and once that’s fixed, more tests fail, for which I
have no solution.

Best regards,

Vivien

The string failure is due to a dotted circle as a basis for the
combining character, that may have been inserted by a clever source code
editor. Replacing it with the hex value for the character itself, the
test passes.

Sorry, the phase name is not good, because it’s not a problem with the
guile reader but a problem with the source code. So, this should be
better.

bug#51447: there’s no other test failing than string.scm

[Vivien Kraus via Bug reports for GNU Guix]

It turns out that the other failures only happen in a guix shell, not as
a package build in guix.

I was told that this issues gives headaches, so I added a short comment
explaining it.
