Sorry about that. Thank you for reporting the issue.

Sounds good - kernel-config should take a system instead of an arch,
since we are really interested in getting a configuration for the guix
system and the ARCH that linux-libre uses is an implementation detail.
One difficulty that arises is that %current-target-system is a target
triplet and not a guix system. I don't like adding more special casing
like a (target-triplet->system) function - but we may have to... I'll
fix this tomorrow morning.
