guix, refactor: Use `target` variable instead of hardcoded value
What changed, and why it matters
This is a tiny build-script cleanup. It replaces a hardcoded Windows build target string with a variable that already holds the same value. There is no security issue visible in the change itself.
No security action needed. Review as normal code-quality/refactor change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
In contrib/guix/manifest_build.scm, the MinGW cross-compilation branch previously passed the literal string “x86_64-w64-mingw32” to make-mingw-pthreads-cross-toolchain. The patch changes it to pass the existing target variable, which is bound from the HOST environment variable and is already confirmed to end with “-mingw32” in that branch. This is a pure refactor with no functional change for the supported x86_64 Windows build; it only makes the code more generic for potential future mingw32 targets.
