Thank you for preparing it!

I tested the binary installation using the guix-install.sh script for
1.3.0 (not the rc2 candidate, but the actual 1.3.0 release, which I
noticed was on the FTP server already).  I tested on powerpc64le-linux
and found no major issues; it worked as expected.

I did "guix pull" and "guix build hello".  To my surprise, I received a
substitute:

marusich@guixtestbed:~$ guix build hello
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
0.1 MB will be downloaded:
   /gnu/store/zcs3cj0mqixwng2ldf92haab2vkpsicb-hello-2.10

/gnu/store/zcs3cj0mqixwng2ldf92haab2vkpsicb-hello-2.10

I guess something is building powerpc64le-linux substitutes?  I had
thought no substitutes would be available, but certainly it is not a
problem if substitutes are being built for powerpc64le-linux already.

I tried building from source on Debian 10 buster ppc64el.  It succeeded,
but "make check" reported one test failure.  It was in tests/go.scm:

Seems like an issue in code related to importing go packages.  I didn't
check if it was reported already.
