Oh right, it’s mentioned in the manual (info "(gccinstall) Configuration").

These relate to GnuTLS, and it’s normal, see
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-guix/2013-01/msg00255.html>.
Basically (guix build download) can be dynamically linked against
GnuTLS, at run time, but it works fine without it too.
