What is the file system of /home/leo/work/guix (see the output of the
‘mount’ command)?

Could you apply this patch (copy it to a file and run
“patch -p1 < the-patch” from the top-level source directory):

diff --git a/tests/nar.scm b/tests/nar.scm
index b8e50c7..a47d522 100644
--- a/tests/nar.scm

+        (system (string-append "find " input "|xargs stat -c '%n %s'|sort"))

         (file-tree-equal? input output))
       (lambda ()
         (false-if-exception (delete-file nar))

and then run “make check TESTS=tests/nar.scm” from the top-level build
directory, and post both the top-level ‘nar.log’ file and
‘tests/nar.log’?

Thanks in advance!
