On powerpc64le-linux, it fails approximately 2 out of 3 times. On x86_64 it
also fails every now and then, at least on glib’s CI.

* gnu/packages/patches/glib-testfilemonitor-Skip-if-we-are-avoiding-flaky-tests.patch:
New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add new patch.
* gnu/packages/glib.scm: Use it.

Hello,

Since glib was recently updated on core-updates frozen, it stopped building
on powerpc64le-linux because of this test failure. I noticed the issue while
testing `guix pull` from the branch and the pull failed due to this problem.
It turns out Debian has a patch addressing exactly this, so let’s use it
too.

Unfortunately, `guix pull` still fails on powerpc64le-linux because the Guix
package recently started to depend on MariaDB, which unfortunately I t think
never built successfuly on this platform due to testsuite failures.

That seems too long of a patch name -- guix lint should flag it.

Don't worry though, I'll adjust it locally.

Thanks!

It does, but I forgot to run it before submitting the patch. :-/

Thank you! Sorry for the extra work.
And thank you for looking into it so promptly.

No worries; I'm currently smoke testing a local version of the
core-updates-frozen with the extra batched commits and then some.

If it tests well I should be able to push it shortly.

Thank you!

Hi,

I ended up disabling this test via a phase in commit
f22f6fc3b6cc6382df3246d192a40a3951b48c37, which is now on
core-updates-frozen.

Closing.

Thanks for the report!

Thank you for applying all those patches of mine on your core-updates-
frozen-batched-changes branch! And also for going through all of their 
reports and closing them. :-)

Thanks for contributing them!  It's very valuable to have someone with
powerpc64le testing and fixing things there (and elsewhere).
