     The implicit inputs when cross-compiling include both the cross-gcc and
     the native gcc (see build-system/gnu.scm.)
     
     AFAICS setting CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc should be enough (it uses ‘cc’ by
     default.)  Can you confirm.

You are right.  setting gcc as a native input seems to be unnecessary.  
Somewhat on
a tangent:
  Would it not be a good idea to have CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc the default setting at 
least
fot the gnu build-system.

     This is wrong: libgcrypt would end up linking against the native 
libgpg-error.

I think you are mistaken.  The purpose of --with-gpg-error-prefix= is to set 
the path
of the library which it should be linked against.  The issue is, that 
libgpg-error provides
both a binary (which must be run at configure time) AND a library which has to 
be linked.
