Hello,

Here's a small patchset to improve the creation of disk-images on non-Intel
systems. Currently, when selecting "arm32-raw" or "arm64-raw" image types,
"guix system" will try to cross-compile to the relevant architectures,
regardless of the current system architecture.

This adds a "system" field to the image definition that indicates the
appropriate system. Then, if we are already running on this system,
"system-image" will build the image natively instead of using
cross-compilation. The image type "raw" is also renamed to "efi-raw" which is
more accurate.

Finally, as discussed with Danny on IRC, it could make sense to change the
default image type depending on the current system: efi-raw on x86_64-linux
and i686-linux, arm32-raw on armhf-linux and so on.

WDYT?

Thanks,

Mathieu
