Checking in for duty! o7

Here are the results of the latest evaluation:

https://hydra.gnu.org/eval/109570?full=1&compare=master#tabs-now-fail

I cannot reproduce these failures, please try restarting the jobs:

https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/c-graph-2.0.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/express-beta-diversity-1.0.7.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/gdm-3.22.1.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/gengetopt-2.22.6.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/libutf-0.0.0-1.ff4c606.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/mupdf-1.10a.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/ghc-mockery-0.3.2.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/gst-plugins-good-1.10.4.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/python-lit-0.5.0.x86_64-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/ruby-concurrent-1.0.2.i686-linux
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/core-updates/wcslib-5.16.i686-linux

With those out of the way, here are most remaining problems on x86_64:

* aegis
* discrover
* clang-3.5.2 (can this be removed?)
* elixir
* gcc-4.7.4 (likewise)
* glog
* a handful of guile libraries
* hugs (abondoned upstream, no users, remove?)
* khmer
* kodi
* ldc
* powertabeditor
* pspp
* scalapack
* stringtie
* swish-e
* vim-full

Once most of these are fixed, I think we're ready to merge!

Kodi is very interesting, most tests take <1s on 'master', but almost
every test take ~30s on 'core-updates' and invariably segfaults. Any
idea what might be going on?

Likewise, one "vim-full" test is failing on 'core-updates' for no good
reason. I would create an upstream issue if I had any idea what might be
causing it :)

Powertabeditor is likely fixed by an update, but I haven't tried it yet.
Any takers?

For the rest.. please share your findings!
