That’s the thing: you have libgpg-error.so linked against glibc 2.33
popping up, and that doesn’t fly with glibc 2.35¹.

You need to pick up one consistent environment (with a single glibc
version) and stick to it.  The most reliable way to do that is by using
‘guix shell -C -D guix’ and then running “make clean” to begin with.

HTH!

¹ The details are in the ‘NEWS’ for glibc 2.34:

  * In order to support smoother in-place-upgrades and to simplify
    the implementation of the runtime all functionality formerly
    implemented in the libraries libpthread, libdl, libutil, libanl has
    been integrated into libc.  New applications do not need to link with
    -lpthread, -ldl, -lutil, -lanl anymore.
