Success! I built one of the affected packages on the build VM.

Hi Noé,
Manually restarting the guix-daemon with `--max-jobs=0` seems to do
nothing. (According to the manual it should force offloading.)
Setting --max-jobs to 0 does force offloading for normal builds, but not
for --check builds (those are just ran locally anyway).
I would think that is a bug, because I would expect that specifying
--max-jobs=0 would mean no jobs at all.
But I already built the packages I wanted to test yesterday (by setting
my hardware clock), and they are now live, so I can't delete them.
Instead, I made a innocuous change to one of the packages, forcing a new
build, which was successfully offloaded to the VM and then successfully
built.
