I had to replace the following binaries in order to make
./pre-inst-env  guix build -K -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gnu-make-
boot0))' work:
bash, cat, cp, gawk, grep, install, mv, rm, rmdir, tar, xz, cpp, guile, mkdir,

./pre-inst-env  guix build -K hello still hangs, so there are probably even more
corrupt cross-built binaries. Has this method ever worked?

For me the next logical effort would be to cross-build all the bootstrap
tarballs by traditional means, e.g. from a Debian GNU/Linux amd 64 box:
binutils-static-stripped-2.31.1-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
gcc-stripped-5.5.0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz <- preferably a recent gcc, e.g. 9.2.1.
glibc-stripped-2.28-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz <- 2.29?
guile-static-stripped-2.0.14-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
static-binaries-0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz

Any scheme code I can look at to find in which order to make the cross-build:
binutils, gcc, glibc, (mig, hurd, gnumach), etc? Found some code in
gnu/packages/cross-base.scm. (Need to learn more about scheme code, though ...)

Thanks anyway!
