I've had this experience before, it's very confusing (it goes on trying
to build a toolchain for something that is sure to fail).  Perhaps we
could at least have a place to refer to in the manual for the common GNU
triplets which make the most sense in for GNU Guix (e.g., the currently
supported GNU system triplets).  Currently I grep the manual for
disparate examples when my memory fail me.

Thanks,

Maxim
