This is undocumented/suboptimal territory.
To install a working C environment in your profile, run:
guix package -i gcc binutils ld-wrapper glibc
and set the environment as suggested. (‘ld-wrapper’ is a linker wrapper
that takes care of adding a ‘-rpath’ flag for every ‘-l’; see
ld-wrapper.scm.)
The crux here is that ‘ld-wrapper’ must come *after* ‘binutils’ on the
command line above, so that $profile/bin/ld points to it, and not to the
real ‘ld’.
I believe this could be addressed by having a simple “toolchain”
meta-package with the sole purpose of propagating these 4 inputs, and by
documenting it in the manual.
WDYT?
Ludo’.
