Fixed.
I suppose this needs to be fixed in many existing packages.
I hadn't seen cc-for-target until now.
(I also discovered %output in the meantime.)

Unfortunately it seems that:

    guix build: error: gnu/packages/tcl.scm:270:2: perl-tk@804.034: build 
system `perl' does not support cross builds

Fixed.
I also prefer all lowercase, but the one package I had
looked at to determine the X11 library to include had used uppercase.

The updated patch is attached.

Thanks for the help,
Paul
