I think I've managed to fix the issue, with the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 (let* ((out (assoc-ref outputs "out"))
                    (liblinphone (assoc-ref inputs "liblinphone"))
                    (grammar-dest (string-append out
                    "/share/belr/grammars")))
               [...]     
               (mkdir-p (dirname grammar-dest))
               (symlink (string-append liblinphone "/share/belr/grammars")
                        grammar-dest)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

At least it launches now, and everything seems to work.

Will submit it soon!

Thank you :-)
