I just noticed that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env guix build --system=aarch64-linux grub
/home/mathieu/guix/gnu/packages/bootloaders.scm:101:2: warning: package 
grub@2.06 does not support aarch64-linux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

it seems to be because of the following dependency path:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
grub <- qemu-minimal <- ipxe-qemu <- ipxe <- syslinux
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with syslinux that only supports x86_64-linux and i686-linux.

I'm not sure how to break that path. It looks like qemu-minimal is
required by grub for test purposes. Maybe we could restrict that
dependency and the tests to x86_64-linux and i686-linux?

WDYT?

Thanks,

Mathieu
