Nice.  Don’t hesitate to leave a note when you’re done; it may be useful
for bug-fixing and/or troubleshooting for people trying the same thing.

I see.

Hello,

I tried to build coreboot earlier and by default it seems to use "cc"
in some places (for example util/cbfstool) and thus fails if one
doesn't manually select an explicit compiler via a make (or environment)
variable.

Guix doesn't have "cc" (it does have "gcc"). It would be convenient if
the former were available as a link.

With kind regards,
    Danny
