     Well, it looks as if "make check" is not the preferred way of testing 
ffmpeg.
     Rather, one should download about 750 MB of video samples and run a 
specific
     test program on them (that can be built and run with "make fate"); see the
     replies to the bug report.
     
     For Guix, it does not seem to be reasonable to either download 750 MB of
     test data, or to package them, so I would suggest to disable the tests
     for now.
     
     What do you think?

I think you should phone the mental health department and suggest the ffmpeg
developers be sectioned, on by reason of public safety!
