[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hello!

Since the switch to GCC7, building 'guile' occasionally fails due to a
test failure in 'test-out-of-memory.scm'.

  GC Warning: Out of Memory! Heap size: 1 MiB. Returning NULL!
  error creating finalization thread: Cannot allocate memory

This has been reported "upstream" in
<https://issues.guix.info/issue/29464>.  I don't know whether this is
indicative of a real problem, or if it's safe to ignore this test.

Thoughts?

I think it’s safe to skip for Guile 2.2.4.

Guile seems to build reliably now, closing.
