I think there=E2=80=99s currently no easy way to cross build a full GuixSD anyway, like =E2=80=98guix system build --target=3Dmips64el-linux-gnu=E2=80= =99 (the --target flag doesn=E2=80=99t exist yet). Or did you experiment in this ar= ea? I=E2=80=99d be curious. It=E2=80=99s designed to allow this (in particular= because gexps are cross-compilation-aware), but I=E2=80=99ve never tried. Ludo=E2=80=99.
