Hi!

Cross-compiling isc-dhcp from x64 to arm32 is broken as you can see
below (output shortend to include only the relevant information)

From what i understand the following goes wrong. During compilation of
the `isc-dhcp` package, the package `bind` is also build. `isc-dhcp`
includes the bind source tree but guix replaces it with a more recent
version. During the build process of `bind`, which is triggered from
`isc-dhcp` an executable named `gen` (see `lib/dns`) is compiled and
executed to generate the `dns/enumtype.h` header. Execution on `gen`
during cross-compilation however fails, because `gen` was cross-compiled
and not build for the host system where it is executed.

According to the documentation setting the `BUILD_CC` variable to the
native compiler should prevent this error, and indeed guilx sets this
variable in the build process. But this variable is ignored by the
`configure` script of bind.

Configure of bind is called with the following paramters:

 $ ./configure CONFIG_SHELL=/gnu/store/3jhfhxdf6v5ms10x5zmnl166dh3yhbr1-bash-minimal-5.1.16/bin/sh SHELL=/gnu/store/3jhfhxdf6v5ms10x5zmnl166dh3yhbr1-bash-minimal-5.1.16/bin/sh --without-openssl --without-libxml2 --without-libjson --without-gssapi --disable-threads --without-lmdb --includedir=/gnu/store/qfndmj9gi31qbzl7f9b00pcylnah4pf2-isc-dhcp-4.4.3-P1/include --libdir=/gnu/store/qfndmj9gi31qbzl7f9b00pcylnah4pf2-isc-dhcp-4.4.3-P1/lib --without-python --disable-kqueue --disable-epoll --disable-devpoll --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc CONFIG_SHELL=/gnu/store/3jhfhxdf6v5ms10x5zmnl166dh3yhbr1-bash-minimal-5.1.16/bin/bash SHELL=/gnu/store/3jhfhxdf6v5ms10x5zmnl166dh3yhbr1-bash-minimal-5.1.16/bin/bash --with-randomdev=/dev/random --enable-full-report
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If you look closely, you can see that parameter `--host` is set to
`arm-linux-gnueabihf` but `--build` is missing.

A quick look in the configure script of bind reveals, that `BUILD_CC` is
only propagated from the env, if we are in a cross-compiling context :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
if test "yes" = "$cross_compiling"; then if test -z "$BUILD_CC"; then
	as_fn_error $? "BUILD_CC not set" "$LINENO" 5 fi
	BUILD_CFLAGS="$BUILD_CFLAGS" BUILD_CPPFLAGS="$BUILD_CPPFLAGS"
	BUILD_LDFLAGS="$BUILD_LDFLAGS" BUILD_LIBS="$BUILD_LIBS" else
	BUILD_CC="$CC" BUILD_CFLAGS="$CFLAGS" BUILD_CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS
	$GEN_NEED_OPTARG" BUILD_LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS" BUILD_LIBS="$LIBS" fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And finally if we are in a cross compiled context is checked by

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# FIXME: To remove some day.
if test "x$host_alias" != x; then
  if test "x$build_alias" = x; then
    cross_compiling=maybe
  elif test "x$build_alias" != "x$host_alias"; then
    cross_compiling=yes
  fi
fi
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in the configure script of `bind`. Since we don't have explicitly set
the `--build` parameter of the configure script, i suspect this test
fails and the `BUILD_CC` variable from the environment is not picked up.

One can test this quickly, by extending the the `--build` parameter in
the package description in admin.scm, namely

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(lambda _
  (substitute* "configure"
    (("--host=\\$host")
     "--host=$host_alias --build=$build_alias"))
  ;; BIND needs a native compiler because the DHCP
  ;; build system uses the built 'gen' executable.
  (setenv "BUILD_CC" "gcc")
  ;; powerpc-linux needs to be told to use -latomic.
  ,@(if (target-ppc32?)
      `((setenv "LIBS" "-latomic"))
      '()))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And indeed, building this package description seems to fix the problem.

One thing however is suspicious. Why did cross compilation for aarch64
work? I didn't figure this out.

However, the following patch should fix this issue for arm32 and aarch64
crossbuild still works.
