I merged this bug with #63258.

The gcc-toolchain:static workaround fixes the rt problem, but now the
binaries aren't linked to libgmp and libffi, even though gmp and libffi
packages are installed in the profile:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~$ ghc -O2 test.hs

Maybe there should be a ghc-toolchain package that has libgmp and
libffi as inputs, and makes sure GHC links them correctly?
