proot-static fails to build. The issue has been reported upstream.
  https://github.com/proot-me/proot/issues/352

The recent 5.4.0 release fixes the hung tests but the previous issue
is still outstanding.

One workaround is to checkout the Guix source and configure a
development environment, disabling the proot tests locally. I
understand that this broken test may indicate a regression, but there
must be a better path forward than allowing this to linger for months
breaking Guix functionality.
