zsh test suite failures, possibly due to 'noatime' mount flag |

Twice recently, once on x86_64 and once on i686, zsh has failed its test
suite while being built by hydra. Here's the output in both cases:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Test ./C02cond.ztst failed: bad status 1, expected 0 from:
print -u $ZTST_fd 'This test takes two seconds...'
sleep 2
cat unmodified
touch newnewnew
if [[ $OSTYPE == "cygwin" ]]; then
print -u$ZTST_fd "Warning: not testing [[ -N file ]] (not supported on
Cygwin)"
true
elif [[ "$(find . -prune -fstype nfs 2>/dev/null)" == "." ]]; then
print -u$ZTST_fd "Warning: not testing [[ -N file ]] (not supported with
NFS)"
true
elif test -f /etc/mtab && { grep $(df . 2>/dev/null| tail -n1 | awk '{print
$1}') /etc/mtab | grep -q noatime; }; then
print -u$ZTST_fd "Warning: not testing [[ -N file ]] (not supported with
noatime file system)"
true
else
[[ -N newnewnew && ! -N unmodified ]]
fi
Was testing: -N cond
./C02cond.ztst: test failed.
The following may (or may not) help identifying the cause:
This test can fail on NFS-mounted filesystems as the access and
modification times are not updated separately. The test will fail
on HFS+ (Apple Mac OS X default) filesystems because access times
are not recorded. Also, Linux ext3 filesystems may be mounted
with the noatime option which does not update access times.
Failures in these cases do not indicate a problem in the shell.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I restarted the x86_64 build and it succeeded on the second try.
Now it has failed on i686:
http://hydra.gnu.org/build/128208
My first guess is that one of our build machines has the 'noatime' mount
option set on its /tmp.
Is there a way to tell from the URL above which build machine was used?

That was with QEMU user emulation. Using overdrive1 (real ARM
hardware), I don't get any failure after multiple builds done via:
GUIX_DAEMON_SOCKET=ssh://overdrive1 guix build zsh \
--system=aarch64-linux --no-grafts --check --rounds=5
It may be that the problem really has to do with the noatime flag, but
that's a bit too narrow for me to test. If you can reproduce it again
on 5.8 and determine if noatime is at cause, that would be very helpful.
Closing for now, but feel free to reopen!
