Hi Ashvith - are you building the master branch with a recent checkout?

I also get some FAILS, but not as many as you.

You can probably continue and if the ./pre-inst-env guix command works then you 
can continue to package.

The manual has a section on how to investigate the test failures: if you have 
alook at those there may be clues and you can create issues with a proper log 
at that point.

Best,
