From the log you sent, it’s the ‘set-cross-path’ phase (of the
cross-gcc) that’s failing.

In cross-base.scm (in master), one of them is like this:

                   (setenv "CROSS_CPATH"
                           (string-append libc "/include:"
                                          linux "/include"))

Could it be that in your case ‘linux’ above is #f, hence the error?

HTH,
Ludo’.
