The latest iteration failed en masse due to network timeouts between
build farm nodes.

Now that Cuirass is aware of dependencies, we have useful info as shown
here:

https://ci.guix.gnu.org/build/515005/details

It lets us see that the Audacity build is not attempted due to the
failure of wxwidgets. And in turn, the failure of webkitgtk and libsoup.
However, there is no information (logs, duration) available about those
failed builds.

I successfully built the Audacity package on the wip-ungrafting branch
"by hand" on the build farm.

What can we do to clear all these "spurious" build failures and re-try
building the branch? I already tried using the "restart all builds"
button, but there were still a lot of spurious failures.
