To get a cross-toolchain for MIPS/n64, you would need to adjust
cross-base.scm to pass --with-arch and similar flags somehow.

But then all you get is a cross-toolchain.  In the absence of special
support from Guix, you’d have to build things manually with that
cross-toolchain, which won’t be particularly great.

I’d rather give a first stab at Guix support for cross-compilation, so
you can start using it.

WDYT?
