Thanks, this addresses my concerns!
I'm not a Guix committer, so I'm cc'ing a couple of people who have applied
recent patches to this file. They may want to review the commit message for
style, also.
I expect the underlying issue would also affect riscv64, but I hit some network
trouble when trying to look for a build log just now.

gnu: chez-scheme-for-racket-bootstrap-bootfiles: change for aarch64.
* gnu/packages/chez.scm (chez-scheme-for-racket-bootstrap-bootfiles):
Temporary change for build on aarch64, making racket available on aarch64.
Architecture autodetect in rktboot only addresses x86 archs, so far.
This work-around sets the architecture, looked up in translation table,
explicitly. The long term solution should be to fix rktboot to include
other natively supported architectures in the autodetect mechanism.
cf. https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/3948
[arguments] use --machine even when architecture is supported by Racket's
fork of ChezScheme.
