I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting.

The problem here is that the "c" belongs in a different place in the
filename than where the "i386" or "x86-64" goes.  The filenames are:

  mit-scheme-9.2-i386.tar.gz
  mit-scheme-9.2-x86-64.tar.gz
  mit-scheme-c-9.2.tar.gz

So I guess we need something like this (untested):

  (uri (string-append "mirror://gnu/mit-scheme/stable.pkg/"
                      version "/mit-scheme-"
                      (match (%current-system)
                        ("x86_64-linux"
                         (string-append version "-x86-64"))
                        ("i686-linux"
                         (string-append version "-i386"))
                        (_
                         (string-append "c-" version)))
                      ".tar.gz"))

    Thanks,
      Mark
