I was building a guix pack with

guix pack --symlink=/bin=bin --relocatable --relocatable --no-substitutes gcc-toolchain gnupg

and got the following error

Backtrace:

/gnu/store/rgyjhfkb5sxcyy362i3bshh80v6giq2c-gcc-toolchain-10.1.0R/sbin seems to be a statically linked executable
even though
3kvnslc16sy7kwi2c5r7r5k6bbv2p03f-gcc-toolchain-10.1.0/sbin is a symlink pointing to /gnu/store/fa6wj5bxkj5ll1d7292a70knmyl7a0cr-glibc-2.31/sbin

This makes gcc-toolchain and gnupg non co-installable.
