That won't work when cross-compiling.  When cross-compiling, it
should be set to something like ARCHITECTURE-linux-gnu-gcc instead.
I'd suggest setting ,(string-append "CC=" (cc-for-target)) in #:make-flags
instead.

To test cross-compilation, you can try
‘make && ./pre-inst-env guix build ex-vi --target=aarch64-linux-gnu’.

Greetings,
Maxime.
