When cross-compiling, the whole cross-compiler is dragged down (as > there's only "out" defined for cross-gcc). Ah yes, we should try to introduce a “lib” output there as well. I vaguely remember this was tricky but I’m not sure why; worth a try! > That does not explain the sudden increase, but this is still quite > unfortunate :p Yep, would also be nice to track down. Speaking of which, the Data Service has things like: http://data.guix.gnu.org/gnu/store/p8in2npgl5yhliy25ikz7shjbq0gii95-guile-next-3.0.0 We could eventually use it to track the evolution of the size of individual packages, or that of their closure (even for cross-compiled packages). I remember a discussion with Chris Baines on this but I’m not sure what the outcome was. Ludo’.
