Yep sure that matches my take on it.  I'm willing to help if anyone has 
any ideas.

Last week I tried editing bootstrap.scm to add and use a 64-bit section 
with my own files and checksums via my own server, but I couldn't get it 
to work so I just gave up.  It downloaded them ok but the checksum 
failed - despite them being correct as far as i could tell.  I didn't 
make static binaries though so maybe that's related.  It took so long to 
try out each iteration I also lost interest.
