I=E2=80=99ve taken care of that on =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99, which wi=
ll hopefully be
merged within a week or so:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?h=3Dcore-updates&id=3D=
2d546858b139e5fcf2cbdf9958a17fd98803ac4c

On that branch, you can run, say:

  guix build sed --target=3Di586-pc-gnu

and you get a GNU/Hurd binary.  \o/
