Hi,

Maxime Devos <[email-masked]> skribis:

“i686-linux-gnu” is not among the supported cross-compilation triplets,
which are roughly those that appears in (@ (gnu ci) %cross-targets).

It’s rarely useful to cross-compile to i686-linux-gnu because you can
just build natively on an x86_64-linux-gnu machine:

  guix build -s i686-linux hello

All this to say, I don’t think we should spend energy on the
i686-linux-gnu cross toolchain.

WDYT?

Ludo’.
