Installation of gcc-toolchain did not help.

$ guix package -I |grep gcc
gcc-toolchain    8.2.0    out    /gnu/store/xwk99qi92pm3zqd95mvjx4mkdmg8plpk-gcc-toolchain-8.2.0

$ gcc c
c: file not recognized: file format not recognized
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

$ cat c
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    struct stat stats;

    if (!stat("/", &stats))
    {
        printf("%u\n", stats.st_blksize);
    }
}

How to solve this?

I’m assuming that you installed the “gcc” package. Don’t do that.

Install “gcc-toolchain” instead.

guix package -r gcc -i gcc-toolchain
