The attached patch fixes this.

I stumbled upon this while working to fix #37549.  Where should this
patch land?

This patch should be safe for 'core-updates'.  Please double check that
it does not rebuild the world, though.  :-)

libmpx does not build natively either (see 01e8263febb) and has been
removed from GCC entirely in version 9.

IMO the comment is unnecessary.  LGTM!

I was hesitating and re-checked on a fresh computer.

Ah, good to know.  I was worrying about just dropping it.

Removed, and pushed to core-updates as 43124a54744b64dcdbdd8f92d2a037bf8e0dd215

Hello,

Thanks for pushing this patch!

Jan Nieuwenhuizen <janneke <at> gnu.org> skribis:

>     ./pre-inst-env guix build --target=i686-unknown-linux-gnu hello

Note that on x86_64 you can perform native builds for i686 with
“guix build -s i686-linux hello”.

You probably already know it but I thought I’d mention it because native
builds are much easier.  :-)
