Yes indeed! It has been discussed here:
https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45020 without reaching a proper conclusion.

The idea of https://issues.guix.gnu.org/45021 is to add a "system" field
to the <image> record, so that we can build the image natively when
appropriate or cross-compile otherwise.

Thanks,

Mathieu
