I also needed to adjust efivar so it would refer to the correct gcc when
cross-compiling. Anyway, this should now be fixed.

X-Debbugs-CC: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli <GNUtoo <at> cyberdimension.org>

Title says it all.

Also see the following excerpt from the build log:

> make -f /tmp/guix-build-efibootmgr-17.drv-0/source/Make.deps deps SOURCES="efibootmgr.c efi.c unparse_path.c" SUBDIR_CFLAGS="-I/tmp/guix-build-efibootmgr-17.drv-0/source/src/include"

Looks like PKG_CONFIG needs to be added to #:make-flags:
<https://github.com/rhboot/efibootmgr/blob/892cb7444ce6f2cded9c67ff2ab3ef35a4c810c8/Make.rules#L64>.

Maybe AR and CC as well.


Greetings,
Maxime.
