The failure appears on the compilation on the gcc-4.7 and gcc-4.8 packages.

If you make a `manifest.scm` that looks like this:

(use-modules (gnu packages gcc))
(packages->manifest (list gcc-4.7))

And you try to compile that using `guix build -m manifest.scm` the compilation 
fails. The same happens when choosing 4.8.

I'm on x64.

Hope that clarifies a little bit.
