At least I don't.  I don't even have a homedir on dover.guix.info, so I cannot
run guix pull, guix describe, or really anything that is interesting on there.

Andreas knows maybe--it works for him.

Note that /gnu/store/mzfkrxd4w8vqrmyrx169wj8wyw7r8i37-bash is an i686 executable
on dover.

Running it just like this

  /gnu/store/mzfkrxd4w8vqrmyrx169wj8wyw7r8i37-bash

it works there on dover!

In order to reproduce the problem, you can log into dover.guix.info and then
run

  guix build -s i686-linux json-c

.

Andreas knows more and can do much more on that machine.
