Right, unless using triplet extensions as done on ARM and in Debian,
<http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch/Tuples> (I think it’s the way to go.)

It’s just that build-aux/download.scm got a 404 while trying to download
it, because it’s not on gnu.org.

Until it’s on gnu.org, the fix is to manually download it from
<http://www.fdn.fr/~lcourtes/software/guix/packages/mips64el-linux/20130105/guile-2.0.7.tar.xz>.

Thanks,
