Err, you may ignore this; mildly Interestingly, bisecting found this
commit, but power-cycling my build and substitute server (restarted the
daemons several times) made this ghost go away.  The server had not been
rebooted for almost a year, and been upgraded/redeployed about 10 times.

This patch is now obsolete as it has been fixed (more) properly in commit

    bb1c78b0014b80095da31b5e0ff44ca7d847f153
    gnu: cross-base: Build cross-compilers with ‘--enable-languages=c,c++’.

(yay)

Pushed to core-updates.

Also, pushed a patch to have Hurd use glibc-2.28.  With these patches,
I've built all dependencies for a Hurd image, except for guix itself.

I've added an ugly hack to hurd-team

    7aa380c5f92029fad6cb999fbb113ec08389a0b1
    HACK gnu: guix: Disable guix-cookbook.ko when building for the Hurd.

(building the info fails in the Hurd cross build), but lateron there's
another segfault.

Greetings,
Janneke
