It took me a while to notice it, but it seems you’re using the linker of
your host distro here and not that of Guix.

This problem cannot occur in builds run by the guix-daemon because it
sets up a chroot.  So I’m guessing this is in your own environment,
right?

In that case, please make sure to run:

  guix package -i gcc-toolchain

to get the “right” compiler, linker, etc.

HTH,
