[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

I have an armhf marsboard that I'm trying to run guix on top of debian. I
started by flashing a debian wheezy image, stripping out most of the
packages, and upgrading to jessie. I installed using the 0.8.2 armhf binary.
`guix pull` failed with the error "unable to fork: Invalid argument", and
likewise `guix build hello` also failed.

I ran `sudo strace -o log /root/.guix-profile/bin/guix-daemon
--build-users-group=guix-builder &`  and `strace -o hello guix build hello`.
I've attached the guix-daemon log to the email and the hello log is at
https://flashner.co.il/~efraim/hello
