This removes the need to use `(gnu packages cross-base)' in
the `make-nsis' procedure at `(gnu packages installers)' by
making use of the `#:target' keyword argument.

As a result scons-build-system now supports cross-compilation,
although it is not very useful for general cross-compilation
as SCons doesn't have a standard way of setting the "target"
and each SConscript specifies which toolchain to use
manually, so it depends on a per package basis on how to
select the correct target as projects will generally take
some command line variables for that, like in the `make-nsis'
case.

Jean-Pierre De Jesus DIAZ (4):
  guix: scons-build: Cleanup keyword arguments.
  guix: scons: Support cross-compilation.
  gnu: make-nsis: Use cross-compilation.
  gnu: make-nsis: Adjust description acronym.

Hello,

Sorry for the noise but I've realised this is not the correct
solution as the nsis compiler is indeed a Linux binary and
only code needed for Windows is cross-compiled to
mingw32.

So it makes sense to have the cross toolchain as an input
instead of using target.
