That's an emulated build (with QEMU), not a cross-build.
To cross-build, something like

$ guix system build --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf test.scm

is necessary. Emulated builds function rather differently
from cross-builds (the former mostly looks like native compilation to
guix), so the former command isn't a good test.

Greetings,
Maxime
