We should at least remove the dependency on ld-wrapper, which is
probably not justified.

The command “guix graph postgresql -t bag | dot -Tpdf > /tmp/psql.pdf”
shows that this ’ld-wrapper-0“ comes from ‘util-linux’. Therefore, is
it affordable to remove this dependency?

I think you’re mistaken: :-)

Indeed! Thank you for the explanation.

The manual says (emphasis by me):

References are a subset of the inputs of the derivation; this
subset is AUTOMATICALLY COMPUTED by the build daemon by scanning
all the files in the outputs.

Therefore, how is it computed? Or what is the entry point to understand
how the build daemon does?

The output is the folder $(guix build postgresql)/, right? So it means
one (or more) file refers to ld-wrapper and coreutils. How can I find
which one? Other said, what are the tools I could use?

The daemon scans build results, nothing fancy. See ‘scanForReferences’
in the C++ code.

I’d do like this:

Toggle snippet (4 lines)
$ grep -r $(guix build ld-wrapper) $(guix build postgresql)
/gnu/store/lrll3ibqags97g2hmjv4az9g1xif42g4-postgresql-11.6/lib/pgxs/src/Makefile.global:LD = /gnu/store/mpa04aq8lblbcviyxywxcsb1zbi0mf39-ld-wrapper-0/bin/ld

HTH! :-)

This is because PostgreSQL installs its Makefile(!), which contain
absolute references to various build tools.

I pushed a fix to 'staging' in
e693617f559f49d1d2606dd5ad997e444b9ad1b5 that adjusts the Makefile to
use relative references.

(not sure whether it should be installed at all, but that is for a
future bug report)

The size of postgresql@13 decreased from 256.3 MiB to 137.9 MiB(!!).

Thanks!
