I could not resist and gave it a try, however it failed (very late, after
building the kernel and qemu) with this message:
==================================
2 of 16 tests failed
Please report to bug-guile@gnu.org
==================================
make[4]: *** [Makefile:797: check-TESTS] Error 1

Do we really still depend on guile-1.8.8? I doubt the guile maintainers
will fix this bug... Maybe building the package on a real armhf machine will
work.
