I've come to fix my close coupled toilet to the wall but realised (rookie
error) the boxed in bit where the waste pipe runs prevents me from attaching
to the wall. Big gap almost 4 inches between cistern & wall. Any ideas?

Two choices really, cut a section out of the boxing (and possibly use a
different WC connector) to allow the pan to go closer to the wall. Or,
box out the space behind the cistern - perhaps making a feature of it -
shelf on top etc.

Would one (or both in combination) of these get you closer? Assume the waste goes out of the floor?

A more radical thing would obviously to adjust the pipe under the floor. Maybe with a flex waste but I am personally not keen on those but might solve your problems .

Put stereo speakers in it for entertainment?

Put some pressure sensors on the seat, and if they are activated
for longer than a few minutes, start playing this:

(youtube, but the visuals are unimportant).

couple of 2x4 battens, hang the cistern off those, make a feature as
someone else said with a shelf or box in.

Which is what I did. Easy to do and looks pretty good when it's tiled to
match the walls.
