Hey, Something I'd be interested in learning more about is cross-compilation. The Guix Data Service computes some derivations for cross-compilation (see the table on the right of [1] for example), but I'm not sure if these are the right one, and because there aren't any automated builds for these derivations as far as I'm aware, it's difficult to know if they can actually be built. 1: http://data.guix.gnu.org/revision/ac841750a52e44d68d7f1b02e9507421f3e3824f I'm coming to the Guix Days, so maybe it's something that can be talked about then.
