I’m sorry to hear it caused you so much trouble and actually led you to
install the “wrong” package.

I’ve now added such an alias:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=f17e1802ec325e5cc86d4908f05ac69aafdf39da

I’ll install ‘gcc-toolchain’, which is explained here:

Thanks,
Ludo’.
