Hi Nelson,

It’s crowded here. Please remove everything but ‘gcc-toolchain’.
Now, if you want to have Objective-C support, you of course have to
install ‘gcc-objc’ and/or ‘gcc-objc++’. However, you’ll have to make
sure that they come after ‘gcc-toolchain’ in your profile, like so:
guix install gcc-toolchain gcc-objc

Correct.

The GNU build system purposefully makes no assumptions on the location
of tools: ‘configure.ac’ files have AC_PROG_SED, AC_PATH_PROG, and
similar calls.

No. By default, one gets /bin/sh, and nothing more.
This is a radical departure from Unix tradition, but (1) GNU’s Not Unix
;-), and (2) the lack of a global name space gives rise to many
interesting properties: transactional upgrades and rollbacks are now
possible, per-user profiles, on-the-fly environments with ‘guix
environment’, etc.

Note that this is bogus, due to
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/35541>, which will be fixed in
Guix 1.0.1 in the coming days.
You should write:
(packages (append (list (specification->package "nss-certs"))
%base-packages))
to get the full set of “base packages” (Coreutils, grep, etc.) in $PATH
by default.
Once you’ve made that change, you have to reconfigure your system:
guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm
HTH!
Thanks,
Ludo’.
