During the build process of `bind`, which is triggered from `isc-dhcp` an executable named `gen` (see `lib/dns`) is compiled and executed to generate the `dns/enumtype.h` header.

One can test this quickly, by extending the the `--build` parameter in the package description in admin.scm, namely --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (lambda _ (substitute* "configure" (("--host=\\$host") "--host=$host_alias --build=$build_alias")) ;; BIND needs a native compiler because the DHCP ;; build system uses the built 'gen' executable. (setenv "BUILD_CC" "gcc") ;; powerpc-linux needs to be told to use -latomic. ,@(if (target-ppc32?) `((setenv "LIBS" "-latomic")) '())))) --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- And indeed, building this package description seems to fix the problem. One thing however is suspicious. Why did cross compilation for aarch64 work? I didn't figure this out. However, the following patch should fix this issue for arm32 and aarch64 crossbuild still works.
