     It allow you to cross-build the bootstrap tarballs for ARM, right?
     

Does anyone know the next step?

The bootstrap tarballs are insufficient to natively build guix on the target 
machine.
And I have been unable to build a version of Guile which is up to the job - 
they all
have one problem or another.

The Porting section in the manual says that I must "update" some files and 
return the "right 
name" and that it must be "taught about the new platform".  Can anyone 
elaborate on this?
How do I know what parts of the files must be updated?  Which name is "right" 
and how do
I "teach" it about the new platform?
