Hello, Here's a patch that adds a "lib" output to cross-gcc. This was indeed quite tricky! Anyway, with this patch the closure of "hello" for aarch64-linux-gnu is reduced from 469 MiB to 187 MiB. I think we can go further. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- mathieu@elbruz ~/guix [env]$ guix size /gnu/store/14ygibryjr7mcly0q9mb8306hlg16nhq-hello-2.10 store item total self /gnu/store/vm2gaw5jk1zr1x9qzj4z52qjxvrh0nk9-glibc-cross-aarch64-linux-gnu-2.31 158.9 71.4 38.2% /gnu/store/w00jb174abikqpznadwzvvgwl3r7qfzd-glibc-2.31 38.4 36.7 19.6% /gnu/store/08vqg0s77dnff7rz90b0h87n2rfyaszg-gcc-7.5.0-lib 71.0 32.6 17.5% /gnu/store/vqsixs9ks4chpjynhizkpdd1gdshv87h-gcc-cross-aarch64-linux-gnu-7.5.0-lib 186.8 27.9 14.9% /gnu/store/fgrpk8r46k34pyqv6xkbi8gbv997dbpx-gcc-cross-sans-libc-aarch64-linux-gnu-7.5.0-lib 80.8 9.8 5.2% /gnu/store/zf5603c5l6ilgyg35gqfkn82v3k9hbri-linux-libre-headers-cross-aarch64-linux-gnu-5.4.20 5.1 5.1 2.7% /gnu/store/6hhsxa3vvbh8gvcfjw4k5sfk1qrhkcrf-bash-static-5.0.16 1.6 1.6 0.9% /gnu/store/nvc3r588745kkj159lm1pa4xz5g99rqd-bash-static-5.0.16 1.6 1.6 0.9% /gnu/store/14ygibryjr7mcly0q9mb8306hlg16nhq-hello-2.10 187.0 0.2 0.1% total: 187.0 MiB --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- There are still references to native glibc/gcc and two different bash, that may be removed? WDYT? Thanks, Mathieu
