You could cross-compile stuff, but many packages with fail to
cross-compile.
That said, I experimented with cross-compiled GuixSD (that is, ‘guix
system build --target=foo-linux-gnu’), and I think that’s promising,
with the caveat that you have to restrict your package set to those that
can actually be cross-compiled. Should we try to get it off the ground?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
