Hi!

GHC takes way too much space (GHC itself, not the closure):

Can we at least (re)move those ‘.a’ files?

Thoughts?

Shouldn't `.a` be split to a static lib output?

In Guix they aren't used typically (everything gets linked dynamically);
at 1 GiB+ I think it's fair to get rid of them.

I think they’re used for ‘pandoc’.

Also, in general, we don’t want to make static linking impossible, so we
could move .a files to a separate output as for ‘glibc’.
