I did that but forgot to adjust ‘-s mips64el-linux-gnuabi64’.  So I’ve
just tried this command:

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -K -s mips64el-linux hello

The bootstrap Guile binary that I fetched from Hydra [1] aborts when
‘./guile --version’ is called.  But this one works [2].  What has
happened?

I’ve also tested ‘./tar --version’ (the one from Hydra), and it works.

Could you run the following command and paste the hashsums?

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build bootstrap-tarballs -s x86_64-linux 
--target=mips64el-linux-gnuabi64
