* Fixing cross-compilation

I sent a patch series fixing some cross-compilation build failures
I discovered when trying to cross-compile glib
(<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49025>, also implements cross-compilation
for meson-build-system). These could in principle be done on 'master' using
,@(if (%current-target-system) ...) though.

However, most of the causes of the cross-build failures is %build-inputs
not being defined anymore on core-updates when cross-compiling, but
apparently %build-inputs is still defined on master, so I just targetted
core-updates.

I would prefer to not have to add to the next release notes that
cross-compiling isn't supported anymore, so I'd like to have the
cross-compilation fixes on core-updates before the freeze.

* Fixing failed evaluations of core-updates 
(https://ci.guix.gnu.org/jobset/core-updates)

See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/49025#29 for a corresponding patch.

Maxime.
