[phodina]

Hi iyzsong!

here is the patch with the changes as you suggested.

Unfortunately, the Makefile tries to install the binary under /usr

I made the changes as you suggested but now I get the error due to 
'cc-for-target':

/gnu/store/gqp3fqgb9h5l7ibzvsnqkv6gahy3r97i-sterm-20200306-guile-builder:1:2534:
 unquote: expression not valid outside of quasiquote in form (unquote 
(cc-for-target))

Could you help me fix that? Thanks
