Sorry, I should have taken a closer look at this patch yesterday. IIUC it’s 
a bug to test (%current-system) before (%current-target-system). That’s 
because the latter is only defined for cross-builds, while the former is 
always defined. So in practice (%current-target-system) will never be 
checked.

This what patch 1 in the series at https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49672 fixes.
Rebasing it and addressing Maxime’s comments is on my todo list.

Hooray! I’m currently investigating a problem with lualatex (issue 51252). 
I don’t know whether it’s serious enough to delay the merge.
