Hello there.

I have this issue when with guix time-machine shell when using --emulate-fhs option and having gcc-toolset and clang-toolset in my manifest.scm.

I this this could be solved with this patch:

This patch will create the symlinks only if destination files is not already present.

Thanks

This was fixed in 23ab6fc29f28b0fa9ad94bf2ceed135ee3fdea34, based on the
patch you sent.

Closing.
