Actually we already have $cross_prefix_dir, specified in
Cross-ARCH.conf. The idea of using $goboPrefix was that we could use
much of the infrastructure already created for Rootless, as in the end
the problem is almost the same: dealing with programs and files in a
different prefix.

That's more tricky, as $cross_prefix_dir might be outside the user's
home dir in the case of Rootless. I'm not sure about which alternative
is better in this case. Any suggestions are welcome, of course.

The only problem I see on doing that is that we'll end needing to
touch and replicate tests everywhere. Just grep for goboPrefix inside
Scripts/Current to take an idea of the problem.
