Motivation for this change

The debug symbols result in an unneeded runtime dependency on GCC, and properly stripping them shrinks the size of the closure significantly.

Before: /nix/store/8w3jvkmbkxd2jh3bg0w9pfhas81x8kd3-cgit-1.2.3 343805152
After: /nix/store/gn64n0w8f7yqrzwwzcg8gi6v638hxfyk-cgit-1.2.3 147108936

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

My primary use case for this is generating Docker images, so that's what I've been testing with.
