Since Guix(SD) has no notion of “standard location” for libraries, the
normal way to address search path issues is via RUNPATH.

When you install the ‘gcc-toolchain’ package, the ‘ld’ command you get
is a wrapper that automatically passes the right -Wl,-rpath flags to the
real ‘ld’, such that shared libraries are always found.

Could it be that you built with just plain Binutils’ ld, instead of
that?

HTH!
