If you change 'inputs' to 'native-inputs', then CMake will pick up the
correct GCC, and you can remove the (arguments ...) block.

(you probably wanted -std=gnu++17 instead of -std=gnu17 too, but no need
when using GCC 9)

Pro tip: use 'guix build -f magic-enum.scm' to get the build output
right in your terminal.  :-)

HTH,
Marius
