The problem here is a guile-git test failure on i686.  In current
master, guile-git apparently builds fine:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build guile-git -s i686-linux -n
make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/ludo/src/guix'
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/ludo/src/guix'

   /gnu/store/96lpylqhsqrfsbbapd7lnkl2752d4cww-libgit2-0.26.0
$ git describe
v0.13.0-4127-gba2cd6c2d
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However you’re using an older Guix snapshot, and there are no
substitutes for that one.  :-/

Is the build failure reproducible?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
