Hi,

On core-updates, as of the following commit from July 26th:

e2690a8eb2df gnu: mes-rb5: Remove.

Guix fails to build ‘(@@ (gnu packages commencement) coreutils-final)’ on 
powerpc64le-linux. E.g.: https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/692547/details

The problem happens during the ‘check’ phase, because of two testsuite 
failures:

================================================
   GNU coreutils 8.32: ./tests/test-suite.log
================================================

# TOTAL: 620
# PASS:  408
# SKIP:  210
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  2
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

The failures are:

FAIL: tests/misc/env-signal-handler
FAIL: tests/misc/timeout

In both of them, the problem is the same: the test expects the ‘timeout’ 
utility to print the name of the signal that is being sent, but for some 
reason it only prints the first letter of the name. E.g.:

+ diff -u exp-err6 err6
--- exp-err6    2021-07-26 19:00:08.159279146 +0000
+++ err6        2021-07-26 19:00:08.475277881 +0000
@@ -1,2 +1,2 @@
-timeout: sending signal INT to command 'env'
-timeout: sending signal KILL to command 'env'
+timeout: sending signal I to command 'env'
+timeout: sending signal K to command 'env'

It’s interesting that this works as expected with the ‘coreutils-boot0’ 
package.

Thiago
