Hi,

(Although you know :) please keep CC guix-devel.)

That’s because a typo. :-)

    ((#:configure-flags flags
                             ^

missing closing parenthesis.  Well, it looks like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules (gnu)
             (guix)
             (guix packages))

(use-package-modules gcc)

(define (make-gcc-hardened gcc)
  (package
    (inherit gcc)
    (arguments
     (substitute-keyword-arguments (package-arguments gcc)
       ((#:configure-flags flags)
        `(append (list "--enable-default-ssp"
                       "--enable-default-pie")
                 ,flags))))))

(define-public gcc-hardened
  (make-gcc-hardened gcc))

gcc-hardened
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then, this command

    guix build -f hardened.scm -n

returns:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://ci.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
substitute: updating substitutes from 'https://bordeaux.guix.gnu.org'... 100.0%
The following derivation would be built:
   /gnu/store/3i6i3pqr5r7l1568b3hswbgych974aqw-gcc-10.3.0.drv
81.4 MB would be downloaded:
   /gnu/store/7vrx4p62bkmxzrxwqdc4il9hqyh1yngh-libstdc++-10.3.0
   /gnu/store/i459ksarhxysqb8gxa8hq6phl13d0q4a-libstdc++-headers-10.3.0
   /gnu/store/d3js6699lc1p0sw7p0dkafi0cn33sig6-gcc-10.3.0.tar.xz
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do not have tried to effectively build this gcc-hardened. :-)

Hope that helps.
