@end example
+If a log is unavailable locally, and unless @code{--no-substitutes} is
+passed, the command looks for a corresponding log on one of the
+substitute servers (as specified with @code{--substitute-urls}.)
+So for instance, let's say you want to see the build log of GDB on MIPS
+but you're actually on an @code{x86_64} machine:
+
+@example
+$ guix build --log-file gdb -s mips64el-linux

+@end example

+You can freely access a huge library of build logs!
