Thanks for reproducing this!

As a workaround I copied the successful build from an Overdrive machine
to ci.guix.gnu.org and substituted it on the HoneyComb machine.

Unfortunately, there’s yet another build that fails in the same manner
(/gnu/store/zakwql6wdm7rvq0grdfl3qa6b60s9px1-coreutils-minimal-8.32.drv); I’ll 
have the Overdrive build
it, so that the HoneyCombs can continue.

Clearly something’s up there and needs fixing.  But I can’t justify
keeping the three HoneyComb nodes idle, so I’m substituting these
builds.
