Ricardo reported the same issue a while back:

  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2015-03/msg00182.html

What platform is this on, i686?

It would be nice to see if this systematically fails.  If it is
non-deterministic, we should build it with --keep-failed until it fails
(removing successful builds with ‘guix gc -d’), collect useful info from
the build tree, and debug.

(You can also work around it by enabling substitutes since Hydra had no
problems building it.)
