Hello again!

The last problem left for me before we can verify the new bootstrap
tarballs and move them to ftp.gnu.org:guix was for

   ./pre-inst-env guix bootstrap-tarballs

to succeed.  We needed to force #:system "i686-linux" for
mescc-tools-static and mes-minimal.  This triggered a build of
gcc-cross-sans-libc-i686-unknown-linux-gnu, that did not succeed.

I found that the mes-minimal recipe used #:system "i686-linux" and on
x86_64-linux still depended on a i686-linux cross compiler.  With that
removed, I now have for you the tarballs as I produced them.

I have updated core-updates-next with this fix, a documentation update
and to also include Marius' mes bootstrap cleanups from his wip-gcc7
branch.

So, finally for core-updates-next 4ae7dc7b9af64794081b1913740b97acd89c91bc
here are my lucky numbers

We may want to change the bootstrap downloads for x86_64 in
bootstrap.scm, mescc-tools-static and mes-minimal-stripped and
linux-libre-headers-stripped to use the x86_64-linux variants (currently
we use the i686-linux tarballs); but as you can see their content is
identical.

Happy verifying ;-)

Subject: [PATCH] bootstrap: Force i686-linux for bootstrap-tarballs.

* gnu/packages/make-bootstrap.scm (%mescc-tools-static): Force i686-linux for
bootstrap-tarballs.
(%mes-minimal): Likewise.  Remove i686-linux cross-compiler dependency.
* gnu/packages/commencement.scm (mes-boot): Support strict i686-linux build on
x86_64.
