bug#44000: Guile-Git cross-compiled to i586-pc-gnu gets bytestructures wrong

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi,

Oh right, that makes sense.  Apparently, all is good:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guix-user)> ,m (bytestructures guile numeric)          
scheme@(bytestructures guile numeric)> intptr_t
$2 = #<bytestructure-descriptor 0x5600e60>
scheme@(bytestructures guile numeric)> (eq? intptr_t int32)
$3 = #t
scheme@(bytestructures guile numeric)> (eq? intptr_t int64)
$4 = #f
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I’ll get more debugging info about the crash and will let you know if
Bytestructures is the culprit.  ;-)
