I think you could test the update on ‘core-updates’ with:

  ./pre-inst-env guix build -e '(@@ (gnu packages commencement) gcc-final)'

It’s gonna take a while, but I think we’d rather be safe than sorry
given that these two libraries underpin the toolchain chain (sic).

If you need the new versions right away, you can also add them as extra
package definitions on ‘master’.

Cheers,
