Cross-bootstrapping from i686-linux to mips64el-linux n64

No.

It didn't work out [1].

Also, I tried to run

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --no-substitutes -K --target=mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 bootstrap-tarballs

and got the same error [2] as before. 'objdump' shows the same output

[3].

Did you mean the following by "the command that build [the archive]" [3]?

Argh.

Then I think this problem occurs specifically when cross-building from

i686 to mips64el/N64. At least it definitely works from x86_64 [0].

Cyril, could you try the following command on i686?

$ ./pre-inst-env guix build --no-substitutes -K --target=mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 bootstrap-tarballs

thanks

Closing this bug: we won’t attempt to support cross-builds from i686 to

mips64/n64 if the tool chain doesn’t support it itself.

Thanks,

Ludo’.
