Interesting.  Why doesn’t it happen when doing:

  guix build grub-minimal -s i686-linux

?  That’s because ‘as’ supports ‘.code64’ there?

The issue seems to be that ‘.code64’ is not supported by cross
assemblers to 32-bit Intel, right?

Is this a defect of cross-as in general, or a misconfiguration in our
Guix package?  Or is this normal behavior that should be fixed in GRUB?

Anyway, the patch LGTM!

Thanks,
Ludo’.
