The fact that 1) I was able to build it successfully on a machine that it previously failed on; 2) you and I both can build it locally; and 3) it will succeed eventually, after telling ofborg to re-evaluate the PR, leads be me to believe that this test is flaky somehow.

EDIT: Also note that the ofborg evaluators don't have compression enabled at all, so that can't be an issue.
