Here's a simple C++ chunk

```
$ cat main.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main(void) {
    std::cout << __cplusplus;

    return 0;
}
```

that compiles as expected, with the latest gcc version

```
$ guix shell --container gcc-toolchain
The following derivation will be built:
  /gnu/store/bvgndd1r6171zly7ir7fzlpygb1ka7b3-profile.drv

listing Emacs sub-directories...
building profile with 1 package...
[env]$ g++ main.cpp
[env]$ gcc --version

I'm using the following generation

```
$ guix describe

    branch: master
    commit: 1e6d1c32117e9f731e50dcd286927a5fa0d17afc
```

This still works if I add gfortran-toolchain *before* gcc-toolchaine

```
$ guix shell --container gfortran-toolchain  gcc-toolchain

But fails I add gfortran-toolchain *after* gcc-toolchaine


```

Hi,

That’s because both are “more or less” some GCC toolchain and provides
similar subset of files.  Here, the version of the both default
toolchains does not match (14 vs 11).  Since the profile is built using
the command line order, then depending on which one comes first, you
have one version or the other for some of these files.

And as you can see, the compiler is g++ version 14 but using files from
version 11…

…and bang!

If both are at 11, then it works as expected:

$ cat main.cpp 
#include <iostream>

int main(void) {
    std::cout << __cplusplus;

    return 0;

Well, the naive question: Does it make sense to have in the same profile
some C/C++ GCC toolchain at one version and some Fortran GCC toolchain
at another version?

Depending on the answer, I guess the fix is not the same. :-)

Cheers,
simon

Hi Simon,

Thank you for looking into this!

These are the versions I ended up with when installing the latest
toolchains, and thought they would work together. Clearly that's not
the case, and hence my bug isn't a bug.

I have learnt that I need to make sure the toolchain versions match,
that's very useful and addresses the original issue that led to this
report. Wil there be a fortran-toolchain 14 at some point, or are
there technical reasons that hold it back?

Best wishes,

Laurent
