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.

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

The issue is that guile needs to be in native-inputs even though
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.
Greetings,
Maxime.

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