Hello Guix,

Mozjs appears to keep a refrence to perl (a build input) in its output:

Toggle snippet (4 lines)
grep: /gnu/store/c4j4a6qc256dvgnzwjzvzwca0ffgic5x-mozjs-102.2.0/lib/libmozjs-102.so: binary file matches
grep: /gnu/store/c4j4a6qc256dvgnzwjzvzwca0ffgic5x-mozjs-102.2.0/lib/libjs_static.ajs: binary file matches

And:

Toggle snippet (18 lines)

It'd be nice to understand how to prevent this from happening.
