I haven't tested the produced image, but the following builds without
trying to also build v86d

         (start
           (if (and (and (string-suffix? "linux-gnu" %host-type)
                         (or (string-prefix? "x86_64" %host-type)
                             (string-prefix? "i686" %host-type)))
                    (file-exists? "/dev/fb0"))
             #~(lambda ()
                 ;; uvesafb is only supported on x86 and x86_64.
                 (invoke #+(file-append kmod "/bin/modprobe")
                         "uvesafb"
                         (string-append "v86d=" #$v86d "/sbin/v86d")
                         "mode_option=1024x768"))
             #~(lambda () #t)))
