+Guix offers individual compiler packages such as @code{gcc} but if you
+are in need of a complete toolchain for compiling and linking source
+code what you really want is the @code{gcc-toolchain} package. This
+package provides a complete GCC toolchain for C/C++ development,
+including GCC itself, the GNU C library (headers and binaries, plus
+debugging symbols in the 'debug' output), Binutils, and a linker
+wrapper.

address@hidden attempt to use impure library, error message
+
+The wrapper's purpose is to inspect the @code{-L} and @code{-l} switches
+passed to the linker, add corresponding @code{-rpath} arguments, and
+invoke the actual linker with this new set of arguments. By default the
+linker wrapper refuses to link to libraries outside the Guix store to
+ensure purity. This can be annoying when using the toolchain to link
+with local libraries. To allow references to libraries outside the
+store you need to define the environment variable
