Cross-building bootstrap binaries fail in current master

[Carlos Sánchez de La Lama]

Hi all,

with current master (1dc30f92320c5e1b528a7eec2b0a4ce529f70c56), trying

guix build --target=i686-linux bootstrap-tarballs

fails with

This used to work previously (like couple of weeks ago). Unfortunately,
I updated my all my branches to send last patches, so I am not sure
which commit I was using before.

Apparently, guile fails to execvp "tar".

Seems related to this:

Any clues?
