Efraim pushed the patch as 19d27131968355a1da962e52163df51e0e03aba1 so I
think we’re all set.  Thank you!

The definition of ‘gcc-final’ in (gnu packages commencement) has an
explicit #:allowed-references white list, so we can be sure it won’t
retain a reference to Perl.

$ man gcc

timestamp

 Manual page gcc(1) line 1/2 (END) (press h for help or q to quit)

$ ls -l /home/dannym/.guix-profile/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 106 root guixbuild 79  1. Jan 1970  /home/dannym/.guix-profile/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz -> /gnu/store/1xsd8qd6i0zkzwxa53rp5palcfxb7xqb-gccgo-4.9.3/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz


Err.... what?

That's also the case for the normal gcc package (for example 4.9.3).

But

$ info gcc

works fine.
