Hi,

Janneke Nieuwenhuizen <janneke <at> gnu.org> skribis:

I sent minor suggestions, but overall LGTM!

As of 4e11cac6be68a674c16965dc74e7da54cd3168df, we have
cross-compilation to i586-pc-gnu working again.  After this series, we
should still have that + ‘-s i586-gnu’ (native compilation) working
(modulo test failures fixed by <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/64711>, of
course).  I haven’t checked whether this is the case but that’s the
idea, right?  :-)

Thanks again for this!

Ludo’.
