Hi Ludo,

Thanks for this patch ! For now I'm still trying to build a GuixSD image
directly on an armhf system.

About that, i made some progress, but i'm now stuck on
"load-in-linux-vm" part of system generation. This part is starting a
qemu machine, inside the qemu machine i'm using for this dev. It takes
about half an hour, just to boot !

Does anyone know how could I speed this up, by buying or renting a
powerful arm machine ? by skipping somehow load-in-linux-vm part ?

Thanks,

Mathieu
