[bug#49025] [PATCH v6 00/22] Support cross-compilation with meson

[Maxime Devos <maximedevos@telenet.be>]

The following changes were made since the v5:

  * The 'configuration-port' parameter has been eliminated
  * #:target and #:build is set in meson-cross-build, such that
    'TARGET-strip' is used instead of 'strip'
  * #:dynamic-linker-cache? is set to to #f in meson-cross-build,
    as in gnu-cross-build
  * 'make-machine-alist' now supports 'arm-linux-gnueabihf'.
  * 'make-machine-alist' now has a generic fallback fake ‘CPU type’.
    Apparently, meson doesn't care what the value is and most
    software doesn't.  Now powerpc64le-linux-gnu is supported
    (tested with qemu) and also mips64le is supported (untested).

    All supported cross targets should now be supported by meson.
  * the new target-...? proedures always return booleans
  * added some docstrings
  * target-hurd? is moved to (guix utils)

Maxime Devos (22):
  utils: Define 'target-linux?' predicate.
  utils: Define 'target-hurd?' predicate.
  utils: Give 'target-mingw?' a docstring.
  utils: Define a target-x86-32? and target-x86-64? predicate.
  packages: Define this-package-input and this-package-native-input.
  net-base: Don't cross-compile.
  tzdata: Don't bother with cross-compiling.
  libgpg-error: Remove trailing #f from phases.
  libgpg-error: Prevent silent miscompilation some systems.
  libgpg-error: Fix cross-compilation error.
  python: Fix reference to input when cross-compiling.
  openssl: Remove trailing #t from phases.
  openssl: Make the #:phases argument a G-expression.
  openssl: Use G-exp machinery for referring to outputs.
  openssl: Move documentation instead of copying and deleting it.
  openssl: Move all man pages to separate output, not only man3.
  openssl: Extract logic for computing CONFIGURE_TARGET_ARCH.
  glib: Use a correct python in scripts when cross-compiling.
  glib: Verify the cross-compiled python is used in installed scripts.
  glib: Look up "tzdata" in 'native-inputs', not 'inputs'.
  libelf: Update configure script and config.guess and config.sub.
  build-system/meson: Support cross-compilation.
