Don’t they run as normal? If the question is about installing them in a profile, you could put them in a manifest. Or you could try grafting them into existing packages if you want them to use them in scripts. But be careful that you don’t mix libraries into that. But as far as using them goes, I’m pretty sure you can just run them. Guix is actually really nice for this use case, because you don’t have to manually manage a different sysroot for every ABI. I’ve used this property at work to cross-build an ARM package and transfer it to a Raspberry Pi. It just worked.
