GCC consists of many separate components  (e.g. ‘libada’, ‘libatomic’, ‘libbacktrae’,
‘libgcc’, that each have their own ‘configure.ac’ script called from the ‘main’
configure.ac.   I'd presume it would be possible to ignore the main configure.ac
let all of them be separate packages, without guix having to move files around.
