I think these will be primarily changes to cross-base.scm, so we can
cross-build the final GCC against the final cross-built libc.  The
‘dynamic-linker’ procedure will also need to be adjusted, indeed.

I’m not sure what else might be missing for the cross-GCC.  We’ll see?  :-)

We’ll need to merge wip-hurd at some point.  We’ll have to make sure the
existing cross tool chains are not broken.  Could you make sure with:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build coreutils --target=mips64el-linux-gnu

Alternately, we could set up Hydra to build the branch.

HTH,
Ludo’.
