     The 'qemu-image' build failed due to a lack of disk space, presumably on
     the VM image file:
     
     ------
     registering closures...
     error: setting journal mode: database or disk is full
     ERROR: In procedure scm-error:
     ERROR: failed to register store items "/xchg/system"
     ------
     https://hydra.gnu.org/build/1741220
     
     Any advice? I'm not sure where to start looking in the code.

For what it's worth, I find that building *anything* related to qemu fails
for different reasons in about 2/3 attempts. So I think there is a 
fundamental, yet to be diagnosed problem.

Would it be worth restarting the build and crossing fingers?
