You could cross-compile stuff, but many packages with fail to cross-compile. That said, I experimented with cross-compiled GuixSD (that is, =E2=80=98guix system build --target=3Dfoo-linux-gnu=E2=80=99), and I think that=E2=80=99s= promising, with the caveat that you have to restrict your package set to those that can actually be cross-compiled. Should we try to get it off the ground? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
