Re: [PATCH] gnu: bootstrap-tarballs: Cross-compile for powerpc-linux-gnu.

[csanchezdll@gmail.com (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama)]

Hi!

I finally found some time to clean-up my work. This patch is for
core-updates branch, and allows bootstrap tarball generation by

guix build --target=powerpc-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs

I think the best way to proceed is integrate this onto core-updates
(once reviewed & approved), then generate a bootstrap binaries on hydra,
making them available for download on the bootstrap binaries URL. At
that point I can update the rest of the powerpc-linux-gnu patches (which
use this binaries) with the correct hashes, and send them to the list.

As Ludo suggested, I am also preparing a tutorial/blog on the porting
process.
