Ah...right.  Makes no difference, though:

root@childhurd ~# guix environment --bootstrap --ad-hoc gcc-toolchain@7
root@childhurd ~ [env]# gcc raise.c
root@childhurd ~ [env]# ./a.out
root@childhurd ~ [env]# echo $?
0
root@childhurd ~ [env]# gcc raise.c -pthread
root@childhurd ~ [env]# ./a.out
User defined signal 2
root@childhurd ~ [env]# echo $?
159

Greetings,
Janneke
