this might actually be more relevent:
http://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Porting.html#Porting
so:

guix build --target=i586-gnu bootstrap-tarballs

I think, where i586-gnu is to be replaced by the right triplet for the
Hurd. Maybe it's already the right triplet, but it doesn't look like a
triplet, so it's a bit confusing.
