Hi,

I was playing around with a package using cmake and got an error when crossbuilding for i586-pc-gnu. The reason seems to be that cmake build system only checks for a mingw target and assumes all other targets are Linux and sets CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME accordingly.

I am able to work around it by adding something like

#$@(if (and (%current-target-system)
            target-hurd?)
       '("-DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=GNU")
       '())

to the configure-flags of my package.


I am unsure how a fix should look like. I was thinking of moving the entire crossbuild code out of the build side and instead prepend the right configure flags for the target to configure-flags for the cross builder kind of similar how meson-build-system does it.

Unfortunately a change like this causes a lot of rebuilds.
