Seems to be to wipe out /gnu/store and /var/{guix,log}

I have now replaced bin/guile in guile-static-stripped-2.2.4-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz, 
but guile or tar still crashes. However I came a little further this time
though:

The main problem seem to be the cross-built binaries. Would it be possible to
build these static binaries natively, maybe even using guix or in som other
way??

I have cross-built binutils, gcc, glibc, etc some (long) time ago when porting
gnat to GNU/Hurd. Maybe it is time to find those notes again (if they did not
disappear in the previous hard-disk crashes, no backup was used).

All for now, time to do something else. BBL.

Thanks!
