Subject: Guix test failure on i686: tests/processes

The following build of the 'guix' package on i686-linux failed:

  https://hydra.gnu.org/build/3386822

due to a failure in the 'test/processes' test.  I've restarted the build
in the hope that the second attempt might succeed.

The Guix being built was guix-0.16.0-10.2637cfd, and it was built using
Guix from commit 7a0479bb7b8535acad2bf36c7a0b0498a1313422 on the master
branch, corresponding to evaluation 110430 on hydra.gnu.org.  The build
attempt was done on hydra.gnunet.org.

Here's the relevant excerpt from test-suite.log:

I can provide the entire build log upon request.
