bug#25256: A lot of tests failed when building guix 0.12.0 from source

[Alex Vong]

Hello Guix,

Congratulation on guixsd moving to beta, maybe I should try it during
the holiday!

A tarball with all the test logs archived is in the attachment. As
usual, the tests are run on Debian Testing with 'uname -a' outputting
'Linux debian 4.8.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.11-1 (2016-12-02) x86_64
GNU/Linux'

Below is the build-log, you can see 87/656 tests failed:
