Hello,

swedebugia@riseup.net skribis:

 time nice -19 ~/src/guix/pre-inst-env guix system build ~/config.scm
 --system=x86_64-linux

 building
 /gnu/store/27raas2bj7sck7vgiicfr2g4h6qrd6ga-activate-service.drv...
 @ unsupported-platform
 /gnu/store/27raas2bj7sck7vgiicfr2g4h6qrd6ga-activate-service.drv
 x86_64-linux
 while setting up the build environment: a `x86_64-linux' is required to
 build
 `/gnu/store/27raas2bj7sck7vgiicfr2g4h6qrd6ga-activate-service.drv', but
 I am a `i686-linux'

An i686 machine cannot run and build software for x86_64.  You would
need to set up offloading to do that, or use
‘qemu-binfmt-service-type’.

So this all looks like “expected” behavior to me.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
