packages with guile-3.0 as an input fail to cross-compile

I cannot cross compile any packages which depend on guile. The configure phase either fails to find the autoconf macros or fails to find guile itself.

configure: checking for guile 3.0

configure: found guile 3.0

checking for guile-3.0... no

checking for guile3.0... no

checking for guile-3... no

checking for guile3... no

checking for guile... no

configure: error: guile required but not found

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

or

configure.ac:70: error: possibly undefined macro: GUILE_PKG

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

See the Autoconf documentation.

configure.ac:71: error: possibly undefined macro: GUILE_PROGS

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I've tried compiling guile-config, guile-quickcheck, and guile-udev with --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf and --target=aarch64-linux-gnu and all fail in similar ways.

Guile itself cross-compiles fine and is listed as an input (not a native-input) on all of these packages.

Thanks,

Mitchell

sometimes it isn't, as I noticed in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47221.

A patch series is available there as well, though it needs to be rebased.

Thank you for sharing this, I have a lot to learn about the autotools.
