I believe the attached patch *should* fix it (simply adds perl as a native
input; pod2man apparently comes with perl itself):
0001-gnu-gcc-Fix-manual-pages.patch
Description: Text Data
I haven't been able to test it though; when attempting to rebuild gcc, I
get a stack overflow before the build process even starts (seems like a
guix problem -- I'll try to git pull & rebuild):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
./pre-inst-env guix build -K gcc
allocate_stack failed: Cannot allocate memory
Warning: Unwind-only `stack-overflow' exception; skipping pre-unwind handler.
