Hello, thank you for the fast and detailed reply. I made two patches that upgrade erlang and elixir and disable the failing tests in elixir, and got it to build again.
I sometimes get this undeterministic compile error (see the attached log). It's always the same error, but it doesn't appear every time, so I can get a passing build running: `until ./pre-inst-env guix build elixir; do sleep 1; done` I don't think that it is related to the version upgrade because I also got this with the old versions when I first tried to build it today. While this still not good, it is at least an improvement over the current state where the package will fail to install in 100% of cases.
