[bug#43342] [PATCH 0/3] Fix #43303 GCC package name

[zimoun <zimon.toutoune@gmail.com>]

Dear,

As described in #43303 [1], the package gcc-toolchain providing the complete
GCC compilation toolchain is not easy to reach; even the manual has a
dedicated section [2].

Commit f17e1802ec325e5cc86d4908f05ac69aafdf39da fixes:

  guix install gcc

which will install instead gcc-toolchain, the expected compilation package.


However, there are still discoverability issues, e.g.,

  guix search gcc | recsel -C -P name | head

reports first the package libgccjit and second gccgo, which have both too
general synopsis and description.  The 2 first patches try to improve the
situation.

Then, because the file gnu/packages/gcc.scm exists and the relevance scoring
function weights the filename too, the query "guix search gcc" artificially
ranks first libgccjit and gccgo.  Therefore the third patch fixes this
corner-case.

All the best,
