Could you update the links and hashes in the branch? When trying to build guix on mips64el, I get the following:

 

/run/current-system/sw/bin/mkdir -p `dirname "gnu/packages/bootstrap/mips64el-linux/guile-2.0.7.tar.xz"`

Nixos on my machine uses the abi n32 (long and void* have 32 bits, long long 64). I would like to switch to abi 64 (long with 64 bits); we might be the first distribution supporting this mode. Do we need a completely separate toolchain for this? In the debian distribution also installed on the machine, there is a separate lib64 directory, and it is enough to pass the flag "-mabi=64" to gcc.
