Indeed:

$ guix shell --pure cling -- cling '#include <iostream>'

But:

$ guix shell --pure cling gcc-toolchain -- cling '#include <iostream>'

runs fine.

I tried this:

I'm not sure why.

Should we close it as 'notabug', or persist with the attempt to wrap the
cling binary with the include paths required to ease its setup?

Thanks,
