Managed to get a chance to dig into this a bit more. The tidy test as a pass
to ensure that no binary files have been accidentally committed into the
repository. It seems like a slight oversight in assuming that the test suite is
run directly on the source repo and not from a source tarball.

It only takes commenting out a single line to unblock things for building in 
Guix
(I'll be submitting a patch once I can verify it builds locally). I'll also try
to open an issue upstream.

Thanks,
