Hello,

mit-scheme fails to build on mips64el-linux, because specific source is not
downloaded for this system. Furthermore, I wonder if in the corresponding
lines
  (match (%current-system)
    ("x86_64-linux" "x86-64")
    ("i686-linux" "i386")
    (_ "c"))
one need not also check for the target system in the usual manner.
Here the "c" should be the empty string, I think, and the preceding "-"
should be included into "x86-64" and "i386".

As the source field is set to #f, the command
  guix build mit-scheme -S
fails with a confusing error message.

Is all this worth it, or should we not revert to a generic build recipe?

Andreas
