Yeah, guix system in essence "just" builds a disk-image (aka vm-image).
Then, qemu can start that image.

I have no idea. This exact command works for me. Maybe you had bad
luck/try again? Does `herd start ssh' work after you login as root?
It could be that your "bad luck" comes from qemu networking -- maybe you
could try running your foreign distro's qemu instead of guix's?

It's tricky; --target is != --system: --target is a cross-build. IOW,
--system => (%current-system), --target => (%current-target-system).
So,
guix build hello --system=i586-gnu hello
should give the identical hash.

You're welcome. Thanks for looking at this!

Hehe, that's what we are doing it for;
Have fun!
