Hi,

I think this issue is related to what happened in terms of optimizations in
go 1.18.3_1:
---
Add amd64 microarchitecture level knobs for the Go compiler. Note that
this will affect only the compiler itself, port users will still need to
set GOAMD64 in the environment to adjust the microarchitecture of the
compiled code
---
I've found this optimizations interesting, e.g.:
---
The current high level steps to reduce binary size are:

   1. Use Rust 1.32.0 or newer (which doesn't include jemalloc by default)
   2. Add the following to Cargo.toml
   <https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html>:

[profile.release]
opt-level = 'z'     # Optimize for size.
lto = true          # Enable Link Time Optimization
codegen-units = 1   # Reduce number of codegen units to increase
optimizations.
panic = 'abort'     # Abort on panic
strip = true        # Strip symbols from binary*

*strip = true requires Rust 1.59+. On older Rust versions, run strip
manually on the resulting binary.
---

I was searching for cargo stripping instead of using STRIP_CMD and I found
this but this means that we have to hack ports Cargo.toml's or should be
upstream to implement a [profile.release]?

Cheers,
