You=E2=80=99ll need the bootstrap binaries.  I have previously built them b=
ut
at least =E2=80=9Ctar=E2=80=9D segfaults.

Here=E2=80=99s what I wrote about this on IRC:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
<rekado> [12:36:12] gnu_srs: get a Debian GNU/Hurd, then build the Guix
         dependencies from source.
<rekado> [12:36:28] once you=E2=80=99ve got everything for building Guix al=
so fetch
         the bootstrap binaries:
<rekado> [12:36:45] such as
         http://berlin.guix.gnu.org/guix/bootstrap/i586-gnu/20190508/glibc-=
stripped-2.28-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
<rekado> [12:36:51] binutils-static-stripped-2.31.1-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
<rekado> [12:36:55] gcc-stripped-5.5.0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
<rekado> [12:37:01] guile-static-stripped-2.0.14-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
<rekado> [12:37:03] static-binaries-0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz
<rekado> [12:37:33] (you=E2=80=99ll find that some of the static binaries s=
uch as tar
         will segfault when given certain arguments)
<rekado> [12:37:45] that=E2=80=99s where we=E2=80=99re at.
<rekado> [12:38:00] these binaries were cross-built.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Good luck!
