What about making it entirely dynamic similar to the ‘cross-gcc’
procedure?

Like:

  (define (u-boot-bootloader board)
    (bootloader
      (installer (board-installer board))
      (package (make-u-boot-package (board-name board)
                                    (board-triplet board)))))

where:

  (define-record-type <board>
    (board name triplet installer)
    …)

Thoughts?
