i686-linux GCC package on x86_64

[Pierre Neidhardt]

Hi!

I'm trying to define an i686-linux package of gcc.
Simply using the

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#:system "i686-linux"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

results in a bunch of

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

errors.


However,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix build --system=i686-linux -e '(@@ (gnu packages gcc) gcc-9)'
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

works perfectly.

(Note that since recently

  guix build --system=i686-linux -e '(@@ (gnu packages gcc) gcc)'

produces a hash error.)

Any clue?
