Hello,

Rapha=C3=ABl M=C3=A9lotte <raphael.melotte@gmail.com> skribis:

The analysis of Chris looks correct.

In the meantime, note that if you=E2=80=99re on x86_64, you do not need to
cross-compile to produce i686 binaries.  Instead, you can simply run:

  guix pack =E2=80=A6 -s i686-linux wireshark

This is because x86_64 can run i686 code just fine, and so guix-daemon
will arrange to make an i686 container.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
