As I wrote, call it =E2=80=98mips64el-linux=E2=80=99, and put the binaries =
under the
directory of that name.

Aah, right.  Well, either call it this way, or do something like:

  (->store
    (if (string=3D? (%current-system) "mips64el-linux")
        "guile-2.0.9.tar.xz"
        "guile-2.0.7.tar.xz"))
