It comes from (guix utils). It suffices when compiling natively, but not 
when cross-compiling, because when cross-compiling to TARGET, you need 
the cross-compiler TARGET-gcc to produce the right binaries. 
(cc-for-target) emits "gcc" when compiling natively and "TARGET-gcc" 
when cross-compiling.

Not hardcoding a particular compiler (gcc or clang) would also help to 
allow --with-c-toolchain to override the compiler to use (see 
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=47648), though not all the 
right bits are in the right places yet for that to work.

Greetings,
Maxime
