Looking at the build failures for x86_64-linux, it seems that there's just one test failure. There's a threshold of less than 5 seconds, and it takes 5 to 7 seconds to complete. This probably isn't helped by using faketime. Here's an upstream bug [3] where they raised the threshold a bit, but this isn't enough for our use case. 3: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1835357 I've sent a patch here which increases the threshold by a lot: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70693
