That's lovely! Because of my the Mes release that should have initial RISC-V support I've been looking for RISC-V substitutes. The good folks over at #bootstrappable advised me to just build using QEMU, the consensus was that gave dependable results.... However, I found that many packages have failing tests, mostly related to stack (overflow) checks. I looked at wip-riscv but that seems to be 1.5y old...so I've building and disabling tests over at https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix/-/tree/wip-riscv Hopefully all this isn't necessary when using real RISC-V hardware!
