There’s a typo in the 0.8 manual (which was fixed in fa1e31b8): it
should read (gnu services networking).

I think this is the same problem as <http://bugs.gnu.org/19119>, which
was fixed a while back.
This suggests that it’s high time for a release. ;-)

Right. There’s one such meta-package, which is ‘gcc-toolchain’.
Perhaps more are needed.
OTOH, ‘guix environment’ can really do “meta-packages on demand”, so to
speak, so I wonder whether things like ‘build-essential’ make so much
sense in that context.
WDYT?
Thanks,
