bug#26671: serf package (guix dependency) tests fail

[Maxim Cournoyer]

Hello Guix!

While attempting to "guix environment guix" after doing a "git pull"
in my guix checkout (master), it attempted to build many packages
(bash, gcc, etc.) and failed building `serf' due to test failures:

............F.FFF.FFF.FF.FFFFF...................................

This particular output was triggered by runnnig "guix build --check
serf" on a foreign distro, but I also had serf test failures on
GuixSD.
