--with-input=gcc-toolchain=… is a no-op: no package has a 
  ‘gcc-toolchain’ input.

It exists only because people kept installing the ‘unwrapped’ (now 
hidden) GCC package with ‘guix install gcc’ and expecting a 
working compiler.  gcc-toolchain wraps the entire toolchain so ‘$ 
gcc my.c’ produces working binaries.  It is not used internally by 
Guix.

It worked in the sense that the package was built successfully 
with gcc@7.5.  If your undescribed issue was a build issue, it's 
not deterministic.  If it's a run-time bug, whatever it is will 
still happen.

It's not surprising, it's proof that your transformation's a 
no-op.  Guix is very good at hashing changes; it doesn't ‘miss’ or 
cache stale things.

Two things that work (but read both):

  ~$ guix build --with-input=gcc=gcc@10 mesa
  guix build: package 'gcc' has been superseded by 'gcc-toolchain'

Is this why you tried =gcc-toolchain= above? :-)  The hint isn't 
relevant in this edge case, you can ignore it for once.

I've included this option because it's the working variant of your 
first command.  However, it rebuilds the *entire* dependency chain 
of Mesa with GCC 10: glibc, bash, ed, python-minimal, guile…

It's cool that Guix makes this task so easy, but you probably want 
just

  ~$ guix build --with-c-toolchain=mesa=gcc-toolchain@10 mesa

This special-case option will do the right things to rebuild 
(only) mesa with the toolchain of your choice.  Note the =mesa= 
difference in syntax: the package you want to rebuild, not the one 
you want to replace:

  […]
  C compiler for the host machine: gcc (gcc 10.3.0 "gcc (GCC) 
  10.3.0")
  C linker for the host machine: gcc ld.bfd 2.34
  C++ compiler for the host machine: c++ (gcc 10.3.0 "c++ (GCC) 
  10.3.0")
  C++ linker for the host machine: c++ ld.bfd 2.34
  […]

Not a user of PACKAGE-INPUT-REWRITING so I'll leave that to 
someone else.

Kind regards,

T G-R
