I tried, and for those reading along, the problem is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ guix shell -CF gcc-toolchain clang-toolchain
guix shell: error: symlink: File exists: "/bin/cc"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This part has no effect (there’s no /bin/cc in the build environment.)

Good catch!  I’m proposing a slightly modified variant of this change:

diff --git a/guix/scripts/environment.scm b/guix/scripts/environment.scm
index a219b2ac89..fc7fa84be7 100644

   ;; Guix's ldconfig doesn't search in FHS default locations, so provide a

I’ll push it soon if there are no objections.

Thanks for reporting the problem!
