Hello!

I believe these commits on =E2=80=98master=E2=80=99 solve remaining cross-c=
ompilation
issues:

  62bc3c5b04 build: Don't build man pages when cross-compiling.
  12da5162e4 compile: Pre-load the compiler outside 'with-target'.

The way I tested it is by running this command from current
=E2=80=98core-updates=E2=80=99:

  guix build --target=3Di586-pc-gnu guix --with-branch=3Dguix=3Dmaster

There=E2=80=99s another thing that needs to be done: in the =E2=80=98guix=
=E2=80=99 package, the
=E2=80=98copy-bootstrap-guile=E2=80=99 phase must be skipped when cross-com=
piling (it=E2=80=99s
useless since tests aren=E2=80=99t run and it crashes).

When these commits are cherry-picked or merged on =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=
=80=99,
someone can run =E2=80=9Cmake update-guix-package=E2=80=9D there and it sho=
uld be all
fine.

I=E2=80=99m optimistically closing the bug, but let me know if I was
over-optimistic!  :-)
