It'd be best to put the bootstrap binaries on the GNU FTP; we already
have a directory here: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guix/bootstrap/.  I can
assist with that if you need.

We no longer need to add #t to build phases, so you can omit it here
too.

What does "for knight" mean here?  Is there an architecture called
"knight"?  You could use a @table here with the arch as first column and
size as second column.
