Hello,
I installed GuixSD recently and ran into the same problem as there:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-02/msg00032.html
Installing linux-libre-headers manually did help, but shouldn't ithappen automatically?
With kind regards, Danny

Nowadays, unlike in Feb. 2013, linux-libre-headers is a “propagatedinput” of glibc: when glibc is installed in a profile,linux-libre-headers is automatically installed as well. So thereshouldn’t be any problems.
However, instead of installing the ‘glibc’ package, you may want toinstall the ‘gcc-toolchain’ package, which provides all the tools neededto do software development (GCC, libc, Binutils, the ‘ld wrapper’, etc.)
Can you report back?
Thanks,Ludo’.

I tried that now - that works fine.
Why can I install glibc (when it doesn't work anyway)? What's the difference?Is it documented?
Thanks.

The most important difference is the linker wrapper (“ld-wrapper”),which makes sure -Wl,-rpath is passed for each library against which welink.

Not yet, but you can help! :-)
