I think you hit the /dev/shm issue described in a footnote (info "(guix)
Setting Up the Daemon").

(Of course, re-open this bug if this is not the case.)

I’m not sure how to better avoid that situation.  Perhaps ‘guix-daemon’
could explicitly check whether /dev/shm is a symlink and emit a warning
if it is?

OTOH this won’t be a problem on the GNU distro where everything will be
correctly setup.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

`guix build pulseaudio` fails because of the following test:

Running suite(s): Memblock
shm_open() failed: Function not implemented
0%: Checks: 1, Failures: 1, Errors: 0
tests/memblock-test.c:86:F:memblock:memblock_test:0: Assertion 'pool_a 
!= NULL' failed
FAIL: memblock-test

Does this happen for anyone else or just me?
