I think these will be primarily changes to cross-base.scm, so we can
cross-build the final GCC against the final cross-built libc.  The
=E2=80=98dynamic-linker=E2=80=99 procedure will also need to be adjusted, i=
ndeed.

I=E2=80=99m not sure what else might be missing for the cross-GCC.  We=E2=
=80=99ll see?  :-)

We=E2=80=99ll need to merge wip-hurd at some point.  We=E2=80=99ll have to =
make sure the
existing cross tool chains are not broken.  Could you make sure with:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build coreutils --target=3Dmips64el-linux-gnu

Alternately, we could set up Hydra to build the branch.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
