In my recent talk about the guix port to POWER9, 
I also mentioned the libre-soc project.
Unlike POWER9 and maybe POWER8, libre-soc and microwatt do not implement VSX.
The libre-soc project instead has SVP64, and also plans to extend the POWER ISA
to support GPU like instructions. Since I work mostly on the libre-soc I will 
have
less time to contribute to the GUIx project.

The relevant bug report to GUIX is
https://bugs.libre-soc.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602
