This is topic has already been discussed here[1][2]. Usually I work around it
by passing "--no-grafts" or avoiding canonical-packages.
Now that cross compiling a system is possible, avoiding canonical
packages is hard (used in %base-packages and "system" derivation).
Any ideas where to start on this problem?
Thanks,
Mathieu

This is expected: packages in ‘%final-inputs’ (those returned by
‘canonical-package’) are rooted in the bootstrap graph and cannot be
cross-compiled.
Perhaps ‘%base-packages’ should use packages form (gnu packages base)
instead? The reason it uses ‘canonical-package’ is just to avoid
introducing redundant packages in the system, but I don’t think it makes
that much sense.
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hello Ludo,
Thanks for your explanation :)

> cross-compiled.
Looking at canonical-package in (gnu packages commencement), I see that
there's already a switch on (%current-target-system). The given package
is directly returned if (%current-target-system) is set, which appears
to be what we want!
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; In general we want CANON, except if we're cross-compiling: CANON
;; uses explicit inputs, so it is "anchored" in the bootstrapped
;; process, with dependencies on things that cannot be
;; cross-compiled.
(if (%current-target-system)
package
canon))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But, this doesn't work as expected. I guess it is because of
(%current-target-system) evaluation time.
As I'm not fully understand everything here, I would propose to define a
gexp-compiler for "canonical-packages", but there's maybe a better thing
to do?
Anyway, the snippet below works fine with a gexp-compiler (patch
attached) and doesn't work with the current implementation of
canonical-package.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (guix)
(gnu packages base))
(run-with-store (open-connection)
(mlet* %store-monad
((gexp -> #~(#$(canonical-package grep)))
(drv (gexp->script "test.scm" gexp
#:target "aarch64-linux-gnu"))
(build (built-derivations (list drv))))
(return #t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
WDYT?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Ah yeah. The hack works when you use ‘canonical-package’ in a package
input, because package input fields are “thunked”, so they’re evaluated
in a dynamic context where ‘%current-target-system’ has the right value.
However, the hack doesn’t work for things like the ‘packages’ field of
<operating-system> because it’s not a thunked field.
Two simple solutions here, I think:
1. Make ‘packages’ a thunked field.
2. Stop using ‘canonical-package’ altogether in ‘%base-packages’.
I actually have a preference for #2. We’d need to check what impact it
has on the system closure size, but I suspect it’s going to be minimal.
Thoughts?
(The <canonical-package> trick you posted should work of course, but
it’s even better if we can avoid it!)
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Option #2 seems nicer. There are other canonical-package calls when
building services. I have a patch attached that removes all those calls.
The image produced when running "guix system disk-image bare-bones.tmpl"
increases by:
* 30MB when removing the canonical-package of %base-packages
* 30MB for all other calls.
So altogether, that's a 60MB increase on a 1.5GB image (4%). I find it
acceptable, WDYT?
Thanks,
Mathieu

OK. (It may be slightly more accurate to look at the output of:
guix size $(guix system build …).)

It’s more than I thought but I think it’s OK. (Also, how come
bare-bones takes 1.5 GiB?!)

I would leave this bit unchanged if possible, because that way the glibc
used would really match that programs are linked against.
The rest LGTM, thanks!

That's one of my next subject of investigation :)

operating-system-locale-libcs defaults to %default-locale-libcs, so
keeping (canonical-package glibc) prevents cross-compilation :(
We could use a thunk field to write something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define (default-locale-libcs ...)
(if target glibc (canonical-package glibc))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
But I'd like to avoid that. I'll see if I can figure out something
better after a good night.
Thanks,
Mathieu

I pushed a patch removing all canonical-packages calls, except the one
for the default-locales-libcs variable.
About this variable, I don't know if the dirty patch I proposed is
better than accepting that the glibc used for locales is different from
the one programs are linked against. WDYT?
Thanks,
Mathieu

On second thought, I think removing ‘canonical-package’ calls from (gnu
system locale) should work. What matters there is that we build locales
with the matching libc (same version, not necessarily same store item.)
The only downside will be potentially an extra glibc download/build to
build the locale set, but that’s probably OK.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I think you're right! Pushed it as
f30d84d32db0f4f6cb84e139868e1727a7dc0a51 on core-updates.
Now the good news is that we are one patch away from having core-updates
to cross-compile bare-bones.tmpl system! This is the patch attached,
we've been discussing it here[1] without reaching a conclusion.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Mathieu

Do we need to do it for ‘lower-object’? I think that one is (almost)
always called from a gexp compiler where it’s explicitly passed ‘system’
and ‘target’.
Also, a test or two would be welcome as it’s easy to break it without
noticing.
Otherwise LGTM, thank you, and sorry for the delay!

Yes because of lower-object call in "system-derivation" procedure of
(gnu services).
