It happens on x86_64 as well.  Namely, the glibc that is built with
glibc-final and gcc-final has extra RUNPATH entries:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ./pre-inst-env guix build -e '(@ (gnu packages base) glibc)' -K

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: get-dynamic-info.h: 142: elf_get_dynamic_info: Assertion `info[29] == ((void *)0)' failed!
$ objdump -x /gnu/store/pxi61vv6qj325y3zs5qpcy2shykgxdar-glibc-2.21/bin/gencat |grep PATH
  RUNPATH              /gnu/store/2bq2qaaajar2f3dbxrrwssxfrfi0k9zr-gcc-4.9.2/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.2
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

After a bit of investigation, I found that the problem came from:

  -plugin /gnu/store/2bq2qaaajar2f3dbxrrwssxfrfi0k9zr-gcc-4.9.2/libexec/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.2/liblto_plugin.so.0

which led ld-wrapper to add a -rpath flag for that directory.

I’m testing the patch below and will commit tomorrow if everything goes
well.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
