GNU Smalltalk test suite failure with lightning 2.2.2

[Andy Tai]

Hi, this is regarding GNU Smalltalk test suite failure when building
with GNU Lightning at 2.2.2

Context: I was trying to upgrade lightning package in GNU Guix to 2.2.2.

GNU Guix is a source based GNU/Linux distribution so the way it works
is that it runs the test suites of packages included in it as part of
process ofm upgrading package receipts.   In the build check it was
discovered that GNU Smalltalk will fail in test suites when lightning
is upgraded to 2.2.2.

I am trying to report this to GNU Smalltalk but it has no bug tracker
and it mailing list is not very active; I am still waiting for
subscribing to the mailing list.

In any case, it seems GNU Smalltalk uses lightning. With this issue I
cannot tell if it is a bug in GNU Smalltalk or GNU Lightning  So I
will bring it up here first.
with GNU Lightning at 2.2.2, then building GNU Smalltalk:
