Hello!

The closure of Guix built with 2.0 is 193.8 MiB; when built with 2.2,
it’s 311.8 MiB.  Guix itself goes from 66 to 150 MiB:

Would you have any suggestions to shrink the ELF files a bit?

Binutils’ ‘strip’ command bails out on .go files:

  strip: Unable to recognise the format of the input file 
`/gnu/store/jh07pwbyf5dbpdd5q0nvgagqkgmh76nh-guix-0.12.0-9.25a4/lib/guile/2.2/site-ccache/guix/scripts/refresh.go'

Also we’d rather avoid stripping debug info, if possible, to preserve
debuggability.

Thoughts?
