packaging ancient node issues

Hello

Currenly I am having some difficulties trying to get an old version of Node
to build /w guix.
The package definition I am working on can be found at [0], and the tail of
the ouput
I get at [1].

The reported error is:
ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory

It is a bit hard for me to find out what is happening, although it might
have something
to do with the fact that the build system is gnu-like, but actually
delegates work to a
bundled copy of waf.

Does anyone have a clue on what might be going on?
I am using guix-on-ubuntu@12.04, 64 bit, if that is relevant.

Thanks
- Jelle

[0] http://paste.lisp.org/display/322257 is the package definition that I
am tweaking
[1] http://paste.lisp.org/display/322256  for the tail of the failing build

These files are provided by glibc.  What you need to do is to make sure
GLIBC/lib is in $LIBRARY_PATH.  This happens automatically when using
the ‘gcc-toolchain’ or the ‘gnu-build-system’.

HTH!
