I believe this is related to the method guix is bootstrapped on x86_64 currently. As far as I know there is a minimal bootstrap seed which is 32 bits, and the final bootstrap is cross-compiled to x86_64. The problem is that for the sake of simplicity the current bootstrap binaries were created with 32 bits in mind. I am sure that they would appreciate any help to get x86_64 bootstrapped directly.
