debugging symbols in the @code{debug} output), Binutils, and a linker
wrapper.
@cindex attempt to use impure library, error message
The wrapper's purpose is to inspect the @code{-L} and @code{-l} switches
passed to the linker, add corresponding @code{-rpath} arguments, and
invoke the actual linker with this new set of arguments. By default,
the linker wrapper refuses to link to libraries outside the store to
ensure ``purity''. This can be annoying when using the toolchain to
link with local libraries. To allow references to libraries outside the
store you need to define the environment variable
@code{GUIX_LD_WRAPPER_ALLOW_IMPURITIES}.
invoke the actual linker with this new set of arguments. You can instruct the
wrapper to refuse to link against libraries not in the store by setting the
@code{GUIX_LD_WRAPPER_ALLOW_IMPURITIES} environment variable to @code{no}.
@c TODO What else?
