Guile 2 is still on hold in both master and stable, you may have been looking 
at the PKG_IGNORE version?

I had a quick look at it the other other day, but it now requires a native 
build of it's latest version to cross-compile so will take a bit of work to get 
running.

In theory you could by adjusting DEPS, PREFIX, and TARGET - but there's no real 
support for it yet and there may be mxe/windows specific patches that interfere 
with a linux build. For packages with "clean" cross-compile support and no 
dependencies, something like the following will create a native binary:

    make -C /path/to/mxe sqlite sqlite_DEPS= PREFIX=~/mxe-native-test TARGET=

Then check the resulting binary:

    ~/mxe-native-test/bin/sqlite3 --version
    file ~/mxe-native-test/bin/sqlite3


The outcome of the multi-target [1] and uniform cross platform [2] issues will 
most likely make this possible as a true cross-compile.

Cheers,

Tony
