The procedure ‘which’ from (guix build utils)
is used for two different purposes:
1. for finding the absolute file name of a binary
that needs to run during the build process
2. for finding the absolute file name of a binary,
for the target system (as in --target=TARGET),
e.g. for substituting sh->/gnu/store/.../bin/sh,
python->/gnu/store/.../bin/python.
When compiling natively (target=#f in Guix parlance),
this is perfectly fine.
However, when cross-compiling, there is a problem.
"which" looks in $PATH for binaries. That's good for purpose (1),
but incorrect for (2), as the $PATH contains binaries from native-inputs
instead of inputs.
This commit defines a ‘search-input-file’ procedure. It functions
like 'which', but instead of searching in $PATH, it searches in
the 'inputs' of the build phase, which must be passed to
‘search-input-file’ as an argument. Also, the file name must
include "bin/" or "sbin/" as appropriate.

* gnu/tests/linux-modules.scm
(run-loadable-kernel-modules-service-test): Actually load the modules
with kernel-module-loader-service-type. Use a singleton service instead
of defining a custom one.
* doc/guix.texi (Service Reference): To give an example of
linux-loadable-module-service-type use a singleton instead of defining a
new service.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/48739>. It may seem silly, but when not
realizing this firsthand, it can be quite surprising and thus not obvious to
troubleshoot. Thanks to Eric Brown for their insightful comments on the
tracker.
* doc/guix.texi (Running Guix in a VM): Add a note that networking support
must be available in the Guix System operating system declaration used for the
VM.
