To test system cross-compilation, I suggest starting from a trimmed list for the ‘packages’ list, smaller than ‘%base-packages’. I’m guessing that all the packages added there with ‘canonical-package’ are the cause of the problem (‘make-boot0’ being cross-compiled.) You can reproduce this problem like this: guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) coreutils-final)' \ --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf --no-grafts (‘coreutils-final’ is the same as (canonical-package coreutils).) So if you remove these, that should work. HTH! Ludo’.
