Commit a28ef66 adds a =E2=80=98gcc-toolchain=E2=80=99 meta-package:

  guix package -i gcc-toolchain

effectively installs gcc, glibc, ld-wrapper, and binutils (in the right
order), and:

  guix package -i gcc-toolchain:debug

install libc=E2=80=99s corresponding debugging symbols.

Comments welcome!
