I pushed a cleaned up version, two fixes for i686, and then a few more
fixes, and things are starting to look good.  At the bottom of this
message is the current list of failures for x86_64 (i686 is a little
worse, but not by much).

However, I have a really weird problem.  When I build “git-annex”, I
build

    /gnu/store/5i2x293qn45dwg2rv6vy45s0r9jbnv8l-git-annex-7.20191024.drv

and it succeeds.  On the build farm, it’s

    /gnu/store/fj5kyjkblxzcxbs6di1kd29j6fpsjvgk-git-annex-7.20191024.drv

and it fails.  I’ve tried “clean-go” and indeed “git clean” followed by
bootstrapping and configuring again.  This does not help.  I took the
log from the build farm and diffed it with my local build log, and all
the interesting parts (e.g., the store paths of everything that goes in
“GHC_PACKAGE_PATH”) match exactly.

Any ideas?  It would be helpful if someone tried on another machine and
check if it matches the build farm or not.  It’s probably something
silly, but I can’t figure it out.

Here’s the list of failing packages.  The first bunch I’ve listed as
“help wanted” – I’ll try and look at them, but some of them are pretty
unfamiliar to me, so it may take some time.  Other people could probably
do a better job!

Help wanted:

    agda-2.5.4.2.x86_64-linux
    agda-ial-1.5.0.x86_64-linux
    beast-0.10.0.x86_64-linux
    cedille-1.1.1.x86_64-linux
    elm-compiler-0.19.0.x86_64-linux
    hedgewars-0.9.25.x86_64-linux
    idris-1.3.2.x86_64-linux
    idris-bifunctors-0.1-1.53d06a6.x86_64-linux
    idris-lens-0.1-1.26f0120.x86_64-linux
    idris-lightyear-0.1-1.6d65ad1.x86_64-linux
    idris-wl-pprint-0.1-1.1d365fc.x86_64-linux
    ngless-0.9.1.x86_64-linux
    rapicorn-16.0.0.x86_64-linux
    xmobar-0.28.x86_64-linux

“Works for me”:

    git-annex-7.20191024.x86_64-linux

Could be deleted:

    ghc-haddock-api-2.19.0.1.x86_64-linux – needed for haddock
    ghc-haddock-2.19.0.1.x86_64-linux – haddock is already provided by GHC
    corrode-0.0.1-b6699fb.x86_64-linux – no updates in years

Finally, there are some packages that have unneeded other versions now.
For instance, we used to have newer versions (than LTS 12) of some
packages for Idris.  Those packages could probably be deleted, but I
need to track them all down.
