Hi Guix,

as my i686 laptop has only about 1G of memory and thus fails to build a
great many packages (including the guix package itself) I wanted to
build its configuration on my x86_64 laptop.  I then copied the system
closure to the i686 laptop with “guix copy”.

On the i686 target I ran “sudo -E guix system reconfigure config.scm”
and expected it to do little more than switching to the transferred
system item.  Instead it started building Guix, which fails on my i686
machine (not enough memory).

Is this behaviour a bug?
