Hello,

Raphaël Mélotte <raphael.melotte <at> gmail.com> skribis:

The analysis of Chris looks correct.

In the meantime, note that if you’re on x86_64, you do not need to
cross-compile to produce i686 binaries.  Instead, you can simply run:

  guix pack … -s i686-linux wireshark

This is because x86_64 can run i686 code just fine, and so guix-daemon
will arrange to make an i686 container.

HTH,
Ludo’.
