Using recent Guix, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix describe
Generation 28	Sep 06 2023 14:54:50	(current)
  guix 6113e05
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    commit: 6113e0529d61df7425f64e30a6bf77f7cfdfe5a5

$ echo 'main = putStrLn "hello, world"' > foo.hs
$ cat foo.hs
main = putStrLn "hello, world"

$ guix shell -C ghc gcc-toolchain -- ghc foo.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( foo.hs, foo.o )
Linking foo ...

$ ./foo
hello, world
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Can we close this bug report?  Do you still have that issue?

Cheers,
simon
