I get this output instead:

$ LC_ALL=C ./guix-daemon --version
./guix-daemon: unrecognized option '--version'
Try `guix-daemon --help' or `guix-daemon --usage' for more information.

This is werid, but I think it is because I build guix with lto.

Here is how I build guix:

$ ./bootstrap && ./configure CFLAGS='-O2 -flto' CXXFLAGS='-O2 -flto' 
LDFLAGS='-O2 -flto' && make -j`nproc` AR=gcc-ar NM=gcc-nm RANLIB=gcc-ranlib

So, perhaps this is a gcc bug! (not guix's one, we can forget about the
patch)

Could you reproduce it?
