I've already built guix (and all their dependencies before that).

Thanks I'll try to install them. It seems like gcc is a little old, do you have
notes somewhere on how these cross-built packages were created?

I assume they can be built them within guix e.g. on GNU/Linux amd64.

Build order?:
1) binutils
2) glibc
3) gcc
4) ?
