I'd prefer not to add this to the manual as it is not particular to Guix. x86_64 is the outlier here, as it has a i686 persona. Generally, you cannot build software for a different architecture without a cross toolchain (not applicable for Guix) or emulation (e.g. via qemu-binfmt-service-type). -- Ricardo
