I did not expect anyone to run tests when cross-compiling :-)

I think gnu-build-system disables tests in that case, but perhaps it
should not?

In any case you can change (%current-system) to:

  (or (%current-target-system) (%current-system))

...and it should work.  Feel free to push this change to 'master' :-)
