I finally realised what it really means that the GuixSD bootstrap has
`binutils-cross-boot0' (I really think that should be reflected in the
SCM name too?) and `gcc-cross-boot0': bolting the x86_64-linux bootstrap
onto the i686-linux Mes bootstrap proved to be "almost" trivial (very
low hanging fruit I think whas wat Ludovic said).

So, I took the freedom to add another commit onto wip-bootstrap that
also replaces the x86_64-linux bootstrap.  I realise that this commit
may have its own problems; so when moving to core-updates-next we may
want to be a bit careful before taking it in.

Greetings,
