The arguments needed a bit of touching up. Using gexp's is the new
style. It's unclear why the tests are disabled, I guess it's because
there are no tests so I've added a comment to this effect. Hardcoding
CC=gcc also causes problems for cross building, so use (cc-for-target)
instead.

I did have a quick check over the source, including a concatenated
sqlite seems unusual and not ideal, but I'm not quite sure how it's
used.

One final change I made was moving the package definition up off the
bottom of the file (as if everyone adds new packages there, it causes
merge conflicts).

I've pushed this to master with the changes I describe as
a45b2c7c63c6af9c42698e12b6809c41c0926de3 so please take a look.

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for catching this, it indeed crossed my mind, but I was not sure what to replace it with should someone chose to build with `clang' (or other C language compiler), and `cc' is not present.

libfossil is a library implementation of fossil ships with bundled sqlite3, and the author decide to bundle libfossil, and so sqlite3 comes with it.

Right, it would be good to package libfossil and unbundle sqlite3 there,
then use that libfossil package here. If libfossil can't use the built
sqlite3 from Guix, then maybe the Guix package source can be used.
