The Librem5 is aarch64 based. I think you mixed something here. aarch64
runs fine with Guix, armhf has some problems with Guile 3.0 ATM. So I
don't think the way is so long.

Oh that is interesting. My laptop has a 3G modem (Ericsson N5321). I'll
try to test stuff with it. But I'm not sure if it supports SMS and calls
at all.

I know, but I guess I'll just wait. As the phones will likely ship in
July, I have no real time pressure :P

I'm aware of that. We probably need a "custom" u-boot package for the
Librem 5.
