Hello,
I installed GuixSD recently and ran into the same problem as there:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-02/msg00032.html
Installing linux-libre-headers manually did help, but shouldn't it
happen automatically?
With kind regards,
Danny

Nowadays, unlike in Feb. 2013, linux-libre-headers is a “propagated
input” of glibc: when glibc is installed in a profile,
linux-libre-headers is automatically installed as well. So there
shouldn’t be any problems.
However, instead of installing the ‘glibc’ package, you may want to
install the ‘gcc-toolchain’ package, which provides all the tools needed
to do software development (GCC, libc, Binutils, the ‘ld wrapper’, etc.)
Can you report back?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

I tried that now - that works fine.
Why can I install glibc (when it doesn't work anyway)? What's the difference?
Is it documented?
Thanks.
Regards,
Danny

The most important difference is the linker wrapper (“ld-wrapper”),
which makes sure -Wl,-rpath is passed for each library against which we
link.

Not yet, but you can help! :-)
