So these tests are really unreliable...  
I did get it build sucessful with the patch on my x86-64 machine,
and this patch doesn't enable the '/gapplication/quit' test (it pass
too on my machine).

Could you build it with '-K', show the log (not very useful, IMO), and
the run the test manually in a container environment by:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix environment -C --pure glib
# cd gio/tests
# ./gapplication
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Also, one can skip some test cases using something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./gapplication -s '/gapplication/quit' -s '/gapplication-remote-actions'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I use this to filter out mis-disabled test cases in the origin patches.

Thanks!
