TBC: what is this package packaging?

  * the compiler
  * some wrapper around the compiler
  * the standard library and the compiler
  * both

If it packages the compiler, this is not fine.  Guix is a package
manager and distribution, the point of which is to automatically sort
out dependencies.  Leaving it up to the user to sort out the
dependencies then partially defeats the point.

Greetings,
Maxime.
