When I add ‘gcc-toolchain’, it seems to try to create a ‘/bin/cc’ symlink to GCC, but the Clang package also has a ‘cc’ executable, so it fails.

Apologies for the noise, but the subject of the email I sent is wrong. It should have been ‘guix shell -CF’ rather than ‘guix shell -CH’.

I see Ludovic pushed a variant of the above fix with
23ab6fc29f28b0fa9ad94bf2ceed135ee3fdea34, and attributed your discovery
of the problem.

Good.  Thanks for the report and patch!
