Have you been able to track this down yet?

FWIW from my earlier experiments I have a bunch of bootstrap binaries
on berlin.guixsd.org:

address@hidden ~$ ls -la /var/www/guix/bootstrap/i586-gnu/20180908/
total 39296

This was with glibc 2.23, so before the great merge.  I don’t know if
these might be useful for you.
