bug#32131: ghc fails to compile packages when installed into profile

[Simon Tournier]

Hi,

This old bug #32131,

    https://issues.guix.gnu.org/issue/32131

is not a bug.  It is because gcc-toolchain is missing.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ echo 'main=return()' > test.hs

$ guix shell -C ghc gcc-toolchain -- ghc test.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( test.hs, test.o )
Linking test ...

$ ./test

Closing.  Let me know if I am missing something.
