[bug#41579] [PATCH 0/2] Introduce 'cc-for-target'.

[Marius Bakke]

Many packages specify a compiler "manually", which leads to this stanza
in order to work when cross-compiling:

  (string-append "CC="
                 (let ((target ,(%current-target-system)))
                   (if target
                       (string-append target "-gcc")
                       "gcc")))

To reduce duplication, the following patch introduces a 'cc-for-target'
procedure, so one can instead do:

  (string-append "CC=" ,(cc-for-target))

...and it will DTRT.

Thoughts?

Marius Bakke (2):
  utils: Add 'cc-for-target'.
  gnu: Use 'cc-for-target' instead of custom implementations.
