Having failed a year ago to build the latest gcc and latest clang
together using "with-c-toolchain", the following succeeds using
"package-input-rewriting/spec".
My current issue is that glibc@2.33 on master fails to build with
gcc@12 ("cc1: all warnings being treated as errors") and my attempts
to pull a glibc@2.35 inferior from core-updates are failing.
On core-updates I can containerize and use gcc-toolchain@12 and
clang-toolchain@15 with the following manifest. Both gcc and clang
successfully compile a test file.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ cat core-updates.scm
(use-modules
(guix packages)
(gnu packages gcc)
(gnu packages llvm))
(define with-gcc12
(package-input-rewriting/spec
`(("gcc" . ,(const gcc-12)))))
(define clang-with-gcc-12
(with-gcc12 clang-toolchain-15))
(concatenate-manifests
(list
(specifications->manifest
'("gcc-toolchain@12"))
(packages->manifest
`(,clang-with-gcc-12))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
On master I modify the manifest to create an inferior for glibc@2.35
from core-updates, but receive the following error when attempting to
use the inferior as a package. A similar question went unanswered on
StackOverflow last year
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/699148/how-to-use-an-inferior-when-input-rewriting-in-guix).
