Good point. Perhaps CHICKEN should keep references to the GCC toolchain
that was used to build it, or propagate it. OTOH, it can in theory use
whatever GCC that it finds in $PATH, and people using the interpreter
don’t need GCC, which would be an argument in favor of the status quo.
Thoughts?

Could you run:
guix package -r gcc -i gcc-toolchain
and try again?
The ‘gcc-toolchain’ package provides GCC, Binutils, glibc, and a wrapper
around ‘ld’ (it makes sure every library linked against is added to the
RUNPATH.)
Thanks for reporting the issue,
Ludo’.
