Thank you. It is now building fine for me.

This looks like a duplicate of [0]. The build fails because
gcl segfaults on invocation. That's where
configure: error: unable to run gcl executable "gcl".
comes from.
This bug has recently been fixed (I'm currently on commit ee6bfff from
last friday and maxima builds successfully).
The problem in your case seems to be, that the guix you invoked when
running `guix install wxmaxima' (and `guix package -u') is not the one
you got by running `guix pull' (That's why guix tries to build
maxima-5.42.2 even though it has recently been updated to 5.43.0). You
might want to run:
export PATH="$HOME/.config/guix/current/bin:$PATH"
(See section 4.6 Invoking `guix pull' in the Guix manual). Or if you've
already done that, it might be necessary to run `hash guix' before
running `guix package -u' and `guix install wxmaxima' again.
If maxima still fails to build, could you please post the outputs of the
following commands:
which guix
guix describe
Thanks,
Diego
