+*** Cross-compilation support
+
+Guix can now cross-build packages.  On the command-line, this is achieved with
+the new ‘--target’ command-line option of ‘guix build’.  At the Scheme level,
+the guts of this is the ‘package-cross-derivation’ procedure.  Core packages
+of the distribution can already be cross-compiled.  See the manual for
+details.

+to download a substitute.
