Hi!
Some more info, still no full picture.
TL;DR: 28dc10a4 breaks the cross build on master (i.e. reverting it
fixes the cross build), but core-updates has 28dc10a4 and there the
cross build works. So cross building with 28dc10a4 depends on something
else that is in core-updates which is missing from master.
Progress at
https://gitlab.com/janneke/guix
branches v9 and v9-core.
My v9 mingw patch set rebased on current master cannot cross build
readline
./pre-inst-env guix build --target=i686-w64-mingw32 readline

Should that make-boot0 cross-build cross succeed...
./pre-inst-env guix build --target=x86_64-linux-gnu make-boot0
guix build: error: make-boot0: unknown package
hmm, how to find out?...or should in not happen and in that case, what
erroneously makes it happen?
Reverting commit
commit 28dc10a455689c807abc9241ed1094d902a9d9fa
Author: Ludovic Courtès <l...@gnu.org>
Date: Sun May 29 23:15:14 2016 +0200
gnu: glibc: Refer to the target kernel headers when cross-compiling.
makes the make-boot0 error go away, readline and guile.exe cross build.
I don't know how to find out if the make-boot0 build succeeded, or did
not happen?
However I have rebased onto core-updates, which also has commit 28dc10a4,
and there readline and guile.exe cross build succeed.
So, last week I spent cherry-picking patches from core-updates onto
master in an effort to investigate what's going on.
Sofar I have tried
fb341ca gnu: commencement: Disable Texinfo tests during bootstrap.
461513b profiles: 'profile-derivation' now honors #:system.
0f24c8d gnu: perl: Do not retain references to GCC & co.
and have run almost out of inspiration what to try looking at the diff
between v9 and v9-core, I have now added
9e574f6 gnu: glibc: Update to 2.23.
and am looking at another Guile build...we'll see.
Greetings,
Jan
