Subject: 07/28: system: vm: Build vm-image using native qemu, for the Hurd.

janneke pushed a commit to branch wip-hurd-vm
in repository guix.

commit 7931c36bd3ac5996f29f61aebacc7567bb8dd675
Author: Jan (janneke) Nieuwenhuizen <address@hidden>
AuthorDate: Sat May 2 19:17:34 2020 +0200

    system: vm: Build vm-image using native qemu, for the Hurd.
    
    Cross-building a vm-image is usually done using a cross-qemu, e.g, qemu-ARM,
    because, e.g., a native, x86_64 Grub cannot install an armhf-Grub.  That
    solution does not work for the Hurd, as there is no qemu-HURD.
    
    This patch enables cross building vm-images for the Hurd using a native qemu
    vm.
    
    * gnu/system/vm.scm (expression->derivation-in-linux-vm): Run native
    qemu-command; use native linux, initrd, bootloader-package and
    bootloader-installer, for the Hurd.
    [preserve-target]: New helper to install cross-packages into the native vm.
    * gnu/bootloader/grub.scm (eye-candy): Use native font.
