    tzdata: Don't bother with cross-compiling.
    
    The time zone database is architecture-independent,
    so trying to cross-compile it is pointless!
    
    * gnu/packages/base.scm
      (tzdata)[arguments]<#:target>: Set to #f.
      (tzdata)[allowed-references]: Only include the "out" output itself,
      to make sure no (architecture-dependent) binaries are installed.
