On my machine running x86_64, it fails about
/gnu/store/…-python-toolchain-3.10.7.drv with,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
@ unsupported-platform
/gnu/store/5sxjc5i6cnk9fgxv9vxh7736vvg46z1x-python-toolchain-3.10.7.drv
riscv64-linux
while setting up the build environment: a `riscv64-linux' is required to
build 
`/gnu/store/5sxjc5i6cnk9fgxv9vxh7736vvg46z1x-python-toolchain-3.10.7.drv',but I 
am a `x86_64-linux'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I run,

    $ guix time-machine -q --commit=eb12f3fd8bee99920118ec802ffbac8f1ab676b9 \
         -- build -s riscv64-linux git --no-grafts -d
    /gnu/store/416hn85wavavmbhrfgrshq5fvvjgxnb2-git-2.41.0.drv

Then I open the derivation, I read:

   ,("/gnu/store/bwkklzsf4hrrmwqsy50837zyrl86bhm0-python-3.10.7.drv",["out"])

And this is substituted for me.  This python-toolchain is dragged by
this chain:

$ guix time-machine -q --commit=eb12f3fd8bee99920118ec802ffbac8f1ab676b9 \

Well, this python-toolchain depends on
/gnu/store/7rihv7x816k38gkknnkaj9pdrxivrqcz-python-3.10.7.drv which is
substituted for me.

If I read correctly, you reported
/gnu/store/ihv7x816k38gkknnkaj9pdrxivrqcz-python-3.10.7.drv.gz for the
name of the derivations which failed for you.  But I do not see it,

Hum, I do not know where does come from the Python which fails for you?
