This seems to be quite a strange issue indeed: Out of curiosity I tried the same thing in a VM (guix system vm-image) and even though it is the same architecture (x86_64) and the same commit (e2721a05e7d778bdf845b7cb7a42fd9f76095b69) guix consistently succeeds to build maxima in the VM while it consistently fails to build on my laptop. I also tried building with only one core on my laptop and running the VM with two cores (qemu-system-x86_64 -smp cores=2) with the same result. `guix build maxima' only fails on the VM when I run it with `--rounds=2' because the outputs differ.
