Ouch, sorry!

Commenting out "doCheck = true" in Gnash should be enough.

Well, not quite.  :-)

I test things on i686 in a chroot, and I did not observe any problem:

  $ nix-build -A dejagnu top-level/all-packages.nix
  store derivation is /nix/store/bgff3w9cjk0ir6dsjmarlbq5cisfp7ll-dejagnu-1.4.4.drv
  /nix/store/87mnz1kxii63cfvcqblj9snidmqfhwhb-dejagnu-1.4.4

Apparently this is the exact same derivation as the one that fails,
which is surprising.  Can you reproduce it on your own machine or does
it only happen on the build farm?

Thanks,
Ludo'.
