Well, since NOTMUCH-FIXTURES is just an origin, it won't differ on
different systems. So, we don't need to cross-compile it, because a
non-cross-compiled version will work just as well. But Guix has no
way of knowing this, so if we use UNGEXP, it'll re-build the origin
unnecessarily. If we use UNGEXP-NATIVE, it'll just use the host's
NOTMUCH-FIXTURES.
