Ah, I see!  Thank you.  When I tried again using the target you
suggested, it worked.

I have some follow-up questions, so I've sent a a follow-up email to
guix-devel.

[Matt Wette]

Here is a link from macports.  It may be of use.  They have broken down to 
50ish packages.  (I didn't count.)

The argument to --target must be a GNU triplet, not a Guix “system
type.”

GNU triplets have the form CPU-VENDOR-OS, which often looks like
CPU-KERNEL-OSABI.  In this case, you want

  --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf

HTH!
