Basically, anything that ends up as part of the expression passed to
‘build-expression->derivation’ runs in the builder.  In practice, most
of the arguments to ‘gnu-build-system’ are in this category.

I guess I (or anyone else who feels confident) should write doc for
‘gnu-build-system’, and that would help clarify things.

Looks good to me, feel free to push to the ‘mips64el’ branch.

Thanks!
