Sorry for not noticing earlier.

I’ve pushed a workaround that skips the faulty test (it’s about
functionality that we don’t rely on):

  
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=44b0faee6bb76c73384d42af95e492329fd45842

Taylan, I’m under the impression that, on i686, bytestructures
miscalculates the offset of the ‘old-file’ and ‘new-file’ structures
which are nested in the ‘%diff-delta’ structure defined here:

  https://gitlab.com/guile-git/guile-git/blob/master/git/structs.scm#L160

I wasn’t comfortable debugging bytestructures so I thought I’d ask for
help.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
