Done and pushed as cf2ac04f13d9266c7c8a2ebd2e85ef593231ac9d.

It could be use to achieve the same result as the <native-qemu> package
you proposed:

  #~(… #+(with-parameters ((%current-system %system)) qemu) …)

However, the issue I mentioned before with this approach remain:

  […] now the result of:

    guix system build -s armhf-linux -d …

  would be dependent on the actual system type.  In other words, the
  result would be different if you run it on armhf-linux, if you run it on
  x86_64-linux, or if you run it on i686-linux.  Not great.

Thanks for your feedback!

Ludo’.
