Here's a test script:
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
#!/bin/echo \
hello world
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That prints:
\ /tmp/test2

It doesn't look like line continuation in the shebang line works, so the
above guile-config.cross is just wrong. However, both dash and bash do
the same thing, so I guess the file is not used at all?

So the correct content of guile-config.cross would be this?

#!/.../guile/2.0.13-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-guile --no-auto-compile -e main -s
!#
(define %guile-build-info '(
...

I have no idea what the script is supposed to do, so I'm a bit reluctant
to change anything.
