Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Introduce 'cc-for-target'.
Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 19:11:37 +0200
Many packages specify a compiler "manually", which leads to this stanza
in order to work when cross-compiling:

  (string-append "CC="
                 (let ((target ,(%current-target-system)))
                   (if target
                       (string-append target "-gcc")
                       "gcc")))

To reduce duplication, the following patch introduces a 'cc-for-target'
procedure, so one can instead do:

  (string-append "CC=" ,(cc-for-target))

...and it will DTRT.

Thoughts?

Marius Bakke (2):
  utils: Add 'cc-for-target'.
  gnu: Use 'cc-for-target' instead of custom implementations.

Yes please!

I didn't review the package changes but know in my heart that 
you've tested them all.

Kind regards,

This is definitely a nice improvement! Sometimes the issue also extends
to AR and LD for instance.

This has been discussed here[1]. Maybe we should deal with that directly
in the build system, and provide suitable default values for CC, AR, LD
& friends, when cross-compiling.

Anyway, your patch is already a big improvement and it LGTM.

Thanks,

Mathieu

That makes sense.  Can't think of any cases where setting these would
have an adverse effect, though I'm sure plenty of stuff will break.  ;-)

Thanks for checking, pushed!
