Source code tarballs (like tcc here) can go to:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/mirror

For “binary” seeds (which in fact are no longer “binary”!), we can
follow the scheme at:

  https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/bootstrap/

… which looks like this:

  /gnu/guix/bootstrap/SYSTEM/DATE

Or we could use /mirror as well, but then I’m not sure what that should
look like.  WDYT?

See, the most difficult issues are yet to be solved.  :-)
