Its my pleasure to announce that guix now has all the code necessary to
support aarch64! Currently support is limited to the core-updates
branch, but that shouldn't be too much of a problem, since currently
everything needs to be built from source.

For those interested in the numbers, I built (at least) 13 copies of the
bootstrap binaries while attempting to pin down bugs. I'm using an
Odroid-C2 with Debian as a base and a 32GB SD card. After supplying
dependencies and running bootstrap and configure, make takes about 25
minutes. It takes almost 16 hours, starting from an empty store, to
build all the way to hello. The board has a base of 2GB of RAM, about
256 MB of which is used for graphics, but I somehow managed to enable zram,
which I'm guessing helped.

In my quest for alternative architectures I'm considering converting one
of my old macbooks to the x32 pseudo-arch and seeing if I can get guix
working there too.
