Hello,
I had the following error while trying out `make release` for
`i686-linux` specifically.

Turns out, Gtk is unsupported on i686-linux which is problematic to
build the desktop.tmpl image.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mathieu@meije ~/guix [env]$ make -j8 && ./pre-inst-env guix build gtk -s
i686-linux
gnu/packages/gtk.scm:1182:2: warning: package gtk@4.8.0 does not support
i686-linux

That's because `gst-plugins-bad` and `librsvg-bootstrap` both refer to
`librsvg` which depends on Rust which is only supported on x86_64-linux.
There are other packages in (gnu packages gnome) relying on librsvg
directly. I'm not sure what's our best option here. Use
librsvg-for-system for the entire desktop.tmpl closure?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Thanks to GNUtoo’s work in <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/57931>, this is
now fixed:
75e24eec1e * gnu: gtk: Use librsvg-2.40 for non-x86_64.
4133e50026 * gnu: openexr: Skip failing tests on i686.
831e038dff * gnu: openexr: Apply 'guix style'.
Ludo’.
