some Nix packages on Guix System fail with error referencing GLIBC_PRIVATE

[Benjamin Slade]

Hi Guix,

I've had a problem with a couple of Nix packages installed on Guix System failing to run, complaining about not finding `GLIBC_PRIVATE'.

Two examples: `gargoyle' [<https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&show=gargoyle&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=gargoyle>] and `deadd-notification-center' [<https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=deadd>].

Here's the message for gargoyle:

`gargoyle: /nix/store/6w8g7njm4mck5dmjxws0z1xnrxvl81xa-glibc-2.34-115/lib/libpthread.so.0: version `GLIBC_PRIVATE' not found (required by /gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/librt.so.1)'

I filed a bug at Nix ( <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/171050> ), but am not sure if the issue on the Nix side or the Guix side.

best,
 —Ben

Why does gargoyle hold a reference to something about /gnu/store?  How
is it possible?

Does Nix use packages from /gnu/store to build Nix packages in
/nix/store?  Naively, I thought that all is isolated.

What are the environment variables at runtime?
