gfortran - libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found

[Laurent Gatto]

I'm encoutering the folling compilation issue that I require a bit of
help with. Here, I am compiling R, from source, but I have observed
similar issues in other situations.


$ make
[...]
begin installing recommended package MASS
sh: /gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/libc.so.6:
version `GLIBC_2.34' not found (required by
/gnu/store/va001nyjq6zm262nvpykdj3nsznaqxd0-gfortran-11.3.0-lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1)
make[2]: *** [Makefile:53: MASS.ts] Error 1

As far as I understand, GLIBC_2.34 is required by
/gnu/store/va001nyjq6zm262nvpykdj3nsznaqxd0-gfortran-11.3.0-lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1

strings 
/gnu/store/va001nyjq6zm262nvpykdj3nsznaqxd0-gfortran-11.3.0-lib/lib/libgcc_s.so.1
| grep GLIBC_
GLIBC_2.14
GLIBC_2.34
GLIBC_2.2.5

and looked up in
/gnu/store/5h2w4qi9hk1qzzgi1w83220ydslinr4s-glibc-2.33/lib/libc.so.6,
and indeed not found:

If I 'guix search glibc', I can find versions 2.35, 2.33, 2.32,
... but no 2.34. And when I look at 'guix show gfortran-toolchain', it
depends on glibc@2.35.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
