Yes, I just tried creating a directory, chmod 000 and ls. root can do this.

However, when I chown the nix-build... directory to some other user, the

test succeeds. Should this problem not also occur when compiling

guile-2.0.6 by root outside of guix? Should the test maybe be disabled

in the guile distribution?
