I just realized that this won’t do what we want.

The expression (or (%current-target-system) (%current-system)) is
evaluated at the top-level—i.e., when (gnu packages linux) is loaded.
At that time, (%current-system) holds its default value and
(%current-target-system) is #f.  IOW, even if you do:

  guix build -s foo linux-libre

or:

  guix build --target=bar linux-libre

you always end up with the x86_64-linux kernel config (if you’re on
x86_64-linux).

Conversely, when we write:

  (package
    ;; …
    (inputs `(("conf" ,(kernel-config
                         (or (%current-target-system) …))))))

things work as expected because the ‘inputs’ field is “thunked”
(lazy-evaluated) specifically for this purpose.

A solution would be to pass a procedure instead of a config:

  (define* (make-linux-libre version hash
                             #:key
                             (configuration-file #f)
                             (defconfig "defconfig"))
    (package
      (name "linux-libre")
      (version version)
      (source (origin
                (method url-fetch)
                (uri (linux-libre-urls version))
                (sha256 (base32 hash))
                (patches (origin-patches %boot-logo-patch))))
      (build-system gnu-build-system)
      (supported-systems '("x86_64-linux" "i686-linux"))
      (inputs
       `(("bc" ,bc)
         ;; …
         ;; Call ‘configuration-file’ and pass it the right system type.
         ,@(if configuration-file
               `(("kconfig" ,(configuration-file
                              (or (%current-target-system) …))))
               '())))

   (define variant1
      (make-linux-libre v h
                        #:configuration-file (lambda (system)
                                               …)))

Makes sense?

HTH!
