I created (guix build cross-base) which exports cross-mig,
cross-kernel-headers and cross-libc-for-target, which is what we need to
produce a working cross-libc.  Cross-mig is only used when target is
GNU/Hurd.

The derivations are not the same so I will have to build it and see if
it works. I will report back on that.

Thank you,
