I’m pushing a commit that adds support for new unquote forms for g-expressions: ‘ungexp-native’ or #+, and ‘ungexp-native-splicing’ or #+@.
Note that this changes the ABI so make sure to run:
make clean-go && make
The rationale is given in the manual:

In a cross-compilation context, it is useful to distinguish between
references to the _native_ build of a package—that can run on the
host—versus references to cross builds of a package. To that end, the
‘#+’ plays the same role as ‘#$’, but is a reference to a native package
build:
(gexp->derivation "vi"
#~(begin
(mkdir #$output)
(system* (string-append #+coreutils "/bin/ln")
"-s"
(string-append #$emacs "/bin/emacs")
(string-append #$output "/bin/vi")))
#:target "mips64el-linux")
In the example above, the native build of COREUTILS is used, so that
‘ln’ can actually run on the host; but then the cross-compiled build of
EMACS is referenced.

With this feature in place, we can start updating (guix packages) and
related APIs to use gexps.
Comments welcome!
