So you don't need to do step 3 all > the time :) Thanks, I have now built the cross bootstrap tarballs again, on a GNU/Linux pre- installed image running guix. The results are the same as for the previous build on a Debian GNU/Linux amd64 image: binutils-static-stripped-2.31.1-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz gcc-stripped-5.5.0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz glibc-stripped-2.28-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz guile-static-stripped-2.0.14-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz static-binaries-0-i586-pc-gnu.tar.xz Extracting bash, mkdir, tar, xz and guile and run them with --version shows that at least xz and guile are corrupt: gnu/packages/bootstrap/i586-gnu/xz --version gnu/packages/bootstrap/i586-gnu/xz: Error creating a pipe: Function not implemented gnu/packages/bootstrap/i586-gnu/guile --version Throw without catch before boot: Aborting. Aborted (core dumped) Maybe it is time to spend time on something else for now...
