Do you have any modifications to e.g. the binutils package definition? It looks like the error is coming from using "cons" to append a configure flag; from the output above:

#:configure-flags (cons "--enable-64-bit-bfd" #<gexp (quote ("LDFLAGS=-static-libgcc" "--enable-new-dtags" "--with-lib-path=/no-ld-lib-path" "--enable-install-libbfd" "--enable-deterministic-archives" "--enable-64-bit-bfd" "--enable-compressed-debug-sections=all" "--enable-lto" "--enable-separate-code" "--enable-threads")) gnu/packages/base.scm:661:28 a765d108>)

I'd encountered a similar error in the past after more packages were migrated to use gexps because I hadn't yet learned of the gexp-aware helpers like "substitute-keyword-arguments". Basically the configure flags need to be extended using gexp operations instead of basic list operations like "cons". An example can be seen in the definition of "binutils-boot0" in gnu/packages/commencement.scm:

(substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments binutils)
  ((#:configure-flags cf)
   #~(append (list #$(string-append "--target="
                                    (boot-triplet))
                   "--disable-gprofng") ;requires Bison
             #$cf)))))
