Correct.  That=E2=80=99s the way it=E2=80=99s meant to work: the initial va=
lue of
=E2=80=98%current-system=E2=80=99 when files get loaded should not matter.

Package definitions should refer to =E2=80=98%current-system=E2=80=99 only =
from within
the dynamic extent of a thunked field.

For example, if a package refers to =E2=80=98%current-system=E2=80=99 from =
=E2=80=98arguments=E2=80=99,
or from a procedure called from =E2=80=98arguments=E2=80=99, everything is =
fine:
=E2=80=98%current-system=E2=80=99, at that point, will be bound to whatever=
 was selected
with =E2=80=98-s=E2=80=99.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,
Ludo=E2=80=99.

Hi,

when doing "guix environment -s armhf-linux", apparently it doesn't set
%current-system to "armhf-linux" for packages in gnu/packages at toplevel
context.

That would be convenient for development, f.e. instead of "guix build" I of=
ten
use "guix environment" inside the git checkout of the package.  In this case
it's differing.

Should it?
