Hello,

This is to be applied against core-updates and fixes:

$ guix build --target=powerpc64le-linux-gnu bootstrap-tarballs

Thanks for sending this in!  I'll be sure to merge it if no one 
else has objections.

I'm really not familiar with this part of Guix, though.  I'd 
naively expect this to be guarded with an (if …) so it only 
applies to POWER.  (Why) is that not possible or desirable?

Kind regards,

T G-R

Yes, it should certainly be guarded by an if to avoid breaking other 
platforms, even if it shouldnt hurt much.

Issue is I do not know Scheme enough to figure out the syntax for an 
inline if like that. So I would appreciate if you could help me on that?

Note: this can be applied on master by now since core-updates was
merged into it since then.
