Where to install the bootstrap-binaries: Natively in GNU/Hurd, which already
hase.g. /bin/tar from the tar package or within Guix on amd64? But installing
tar to /bin does not find that file, even with setting PATH??
uname -a
Linux gnu 5.1.2-gnu #1 SMP 1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
guix build bootstrap-tarballs --system=i586-gnu
guix build: error: could not find bootstrap binary 'tar' for system 'i586-gnu'
which tar
/bin/tar
file /bin/tar
/bin/tar: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), statically
linked, for GNU/Hurd 0.0.0, stripped
