That seems to be the problem, yes...

It is failing in the set-environment phase...

(define-public u-boot-pinebook-pro-rk3399
...
  (add-after 'unpack 'set-environment
    (lambda* (#:key inputs #:allow-other-keys)
       (setenv "BL31" (string-append (assoc-ref inputs "firmware")
                      "/bl31.elf"))
       #t))

Works:

  guix build arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399
  guix build u-boot-pinebook-pro-rk3399
  guix build --target=aarch64-linux arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399

Fails:

  guix build --target=aarch64-linux u-boot-pinebook-pro-rk3399

So the firmware (arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399) exists, but for some
reason isn't available while cross-building. It appears to be present in
the both the cross-built and "regular" firmware package:


$ guix build --target=aarch64-linux arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399
/gnu/store/v3nkj3hiihllwp9kn65ih7xi2bjbp58v-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4

$ guix build arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399
/gnu/store/jpm4hfqh08s9ns3pd5h3r798z7pdbp0m-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4

$ ls /gnu/store/v3nkj3hiihllwp9kn65ih7xi2bjbp58v-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4 /gnu/store/jpm4hfqh08s9ns3pd5h3r798z7pdbp0m-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4

/gnu/store/jpm4hfqh08s9ns3pd5h3r798z7pdbp0m-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4:
bl31.elf  rk3399m0.bin  rk3399m0.elf  rk3399m0pmu.bin  rk3399m0pmu.elf  share

/gnu/store/v3nkj3hiihllwp9kn65ih7xi2bjbp58v-arm-trusted-firmware-rk3399-2.4:
bl31.elf  rk3399m0.bin  rk3399m0.elf  rk3399m0pmu.bin  rk3399m0pmu.elf  share


So... I'm not very familiar with how --target=ARCH cross-building works
in guix, but that somehow appears to trigger the issue...


live well,
