Hello, I did build the bootstrap binaries some time ago. They were corrupt. As well as the pre-built ones that were available at http://berlin.guix.gnu.org/guix/bootstrap/i586-gnu/20190508
Down-grading from guile-2.2 to guile-2.0 did not improve the situation. Now I have a project to cross-build Hurd from a GNU/Linux box: hurd-cross, using the latest versions of the gnumach, hurd, glibc, gcc, etc. The built Hurd boots and runs fine in a VM :) The project will soon be available on Savannah. From there I will again cross-build the bootstrap binaries for Hurd, in due time though. (Other packages, like ones not yet available natively, can also be cross-built. That's an interesting extension.) See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-08/msg00198.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00000.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00014.html https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2019-09/msg00225.html for some of the efforts to make Guix work on GNU/Hurd. Thanks! (and sorry for top-posting) On Sat, 2020-02-29 at 10:36 +0100, Jan Nieuwenhuizen wrote: > Hi! > > I have been looking at the recent work of Efraim and others wrt the Hurd > bootstrap.
