An i686 machine cannot run and build software for x86_64.  You would
need to set up offloading to do that, or use
‘qemu-binfmt-service-type’.

So this all looks like “expected” behavior to me.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

OK. Would it be OK to state this somewhere in the manual or am I the only on trying to upgrade from 32->64 bit?
This means that if you take a disk with guix 32 and plug it into a 64 bit machine there are only two ways to use 64 bit. Reinstall from a downloaded USB or build using qemu-binfmt-service-type.

I'd prefer not to add this to the manual as it is not particular to
Guix.  x86_64 is the outlier here, as it has a i686 persona.  Generally,
you cannot build software for a different architecture without a cross
toolchain (not applicable for Guix) or emulation (e.g. via
qemu-binfmt-service-type).
