I looked in the repository Guix is trying to build for inetutils and do not see tests/runtime-ipv6.c. So I looked up the current version of inetutils and realized that Guix has inetutils version 1.9.4 packaged instead of 2.0. Updating the Guix package of inetutils to 2.0 may resolve this failing test. I will report back on the result of upgrading the Guix package of inetutils to 2.0.
