Guix does not do staged installation (that's what DESTDIR is for!), so
don't set DESTDIR, instead set PREFIX to #$output instead of DESTDIR
(the difference matters when the compiled program embeds a reference to
its own installation location).  Also, G-exps, because %output isn't
documented IIRC whereas #$output is:

  (arguments
    (list #:make-flags
          #~(list (string-append "PREFIX=" #$output)
                  (string-append "CC=" #$(cc-for-target)))
          #:phases
          #~(modify-phases %standard-phases
              (delete 'configure)
              (delete 'check))))

Also, always add a comment about why tests are skipped (maybe someone
knows how to fix them or the bug they noticed!).
