 the built output.  The key @code{#:install-source?}, which defaults to
 @code{#t}, controls whether or not the source code is installed.  It can
 be set to @code{#f} for packages that only provide executable files.
+
+Packages can be cross-built, and if a specific architecture or operating
+system is desired then the keywords @code{#:goarch} and @code{#:goos}
+can be used to force the package to be built for that architecture and
+operating system.  The combinations known to Go can be found
+@url{"https://golang.org/doc/install/source#environment", in their
+documentation}.
