I'd add i586->i386 here as well, to allow the "i586-gnu" target (for the Hurd).
(Debian has a Hurd port: https://www.debian.org/ports/hurd/).
Maybe more is needed for proper Hurd support though.

For completeness, I'd also add i486->i386,
to allow "guix pack hello --target=i486-linux-gnu --format=tarball"
as well. Ok, i486-linux-gnu isn't a ‘supported’ cross-target, but why not?

Greetings,
Maxime.
