Here if you need @@ for cross-gcc, you'll also need it for cross-libc I
guess.

But the visibility issue you have is because cross-gcc inherits from gcc
who has the property hidden? set to #t.

You can add this to your custom cross-gcc package definition:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (properties (alist-delete 'hidden? (package-properties gcc)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
