I'm starting to stumble my way through building an install image for
aarch64, and I changed gnu/system/install.scm to use 'grub-efi' in place
of 'grub' in the list of packages (~line 333). Grub-efi builds
successfully on armhf and aarch64 and grub does not, and as part of
compiling install.scm grub is built as part of assembling the image.
guix size grub: 157.5 MiB
guix size grub-efi: 160.5 MiB
I don't know a lot of how the install image is put together, or if using
grub-efi in place of grub for building the image would be a problem for
non-efi machines, but for non-intel machines at least we should use
grub-efi for the grub calls.

How does grub fail to build aarch64? This sounds like an upstream bug.
Note that 'grub-efi' currently does not have tests enabled.

As we discussed briefly on irc, the tests indeed are not run for grub-efi. Grub fails during the test phase in a similar manner to arm failing, with many many test failures.

Do the system installation tests pass with that change? You can run the
following to find out:
make check-system

GRUB builds successfully on armhf and aarch64 nowadays, so I'm closing
this bug.
