This fails with the exact same error, it can't build gcc.

If I look in
/nix/store/df8qyymanigrki2rgcmwbpkygg7c5n2g-libstdc++-4.9.3/lib I see
the following:

$ ls /nix/store/df8qyymanigrki2rgcmwbpkygg7c5n2g-libstdc++-4.9.3/lib
$ ls /nix/store/df8qyymanigrki2rgcmwbpkygg7c5n2g-libstdc++-4.9.3/
include  lib  lib64  share
$ ls /nix/store/df8qyymanigrki2rgcmwbpkygg7c5n2g-libstdc++-4.9.3/lib64
libstdc++.a  libstdc++.a-gdb.py  libstdc++.la  libsupc++.a  libsupc++.la
$

So.. it looks like the lib64 part isn't getting propagated correctly in
the guix build.

Yes, had to add nix.useChroot to true in my
/etc/nixos/configuration.nix. God I miss some s-exp.

Thanks for your help! Really appreciate it.
