That works for me (i.e., ‘gcc’ runs to completion just fine.)
But I suppose this depends on what’s in ~/.guix-profile/lib. If you
have a conflicting GCC version there (which is not the case for me), it
could break.
Could you run the snippet you provided above with ‘--verbose’ passed to
‘gcc’? That will allow us to see what libraries and tools it picks up.

What makes you think ‘ld-wrapper’ is involved?
Anyway, the ‘--verbose’ output should give us more insight.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
