When dealing with the glibc package, you will often see the following warning:

warning: ambiguous package specification `glibc'
warning: choosing glibc <at> 2.39 from gnu/packages/base.scm:915:2

This is due to the fact that Hurd glibc is exported. A simple fix is to declare it as a hidden-package.

Well, I propose to close this patch until the issue potentially shows up
again. :-)

Once the issue appears again, maybe open a Pull Request on Codeberg
referencing this past thread.

Feel free to reopen if I’m missing something.

Cheers,
simon
