Sorry Tobias, but I haven't been able to progress any further on this.  
As far as I can tell the guix boostrap process doesn't support 
amd64-only systems so although I can compile it, it doesn't pass 'make 
check' and so I didn't try further.  32-bit executables are disabled in 
my kernel and bootstrap.scm just assumes they work based on the 
architecture.

I asked on IRC but I'm in the 'wrong' timezone to get any useful 
responses and a query to the mailing list went unanswered.

Also, sort of related and I know it's not guix's fault but it's somewhat 
difficult to find anything useful about guix using any search engine.
