You probably need (assoc-ref (or native-inputs inputs) "bash"), meaning
you’ll refer to the native Bash both when compiling natively and when
cross-compiling (as done in ATLAS and OpenSSL.)

core-updates no longer exists.  Perhaps let’s just make a
‘cross-compilation’ branch (or ‘arm’?) with all such changes.
Then we’ll arrange for Hydra to build that branch, and merge it once
it’s stable and mostly built.

WDYT?
