bordeaux.guix.gnu.org should have good substitute availability for both
of these architectures.

I've also got some childhurds running. I think there were some build
coordinator issues that meant some of the agents were getting stuck, but
I think I'm making progress with those now.

In terms of actually building things, I think there are some problems
building grep and coreutils. I've been looking at the hello package [1]
and the build for i586-gnu [2]. You can see the required failed builds
on the build page [2].
