Guix already supports cross-compilation out of the box of 32-bit
packages on any architecture:
guix build --system=i686-linux PACKAGES...
Now the question is: is it possible to run the produced binaries
directly (no VM)?
Many other distributions have support for the so-called "multilibs",
that is, a separate 32-bit library tree with the 32-bit linker
configured to load those instead of their 64-bit counterparts.
Does Guix have any provision for multilibs?
