I don't understand the difference.
(match (or (%current-target-system)
(%current-system))
("x86_64-linux" "x86_64")
("i686-linux" "i386"))
must be unquoted inside the phase, so it's evaluated when the package
is and not at build time, isn't it?
Else how do you match against the build architecture at build time?
