If you run 'guix size perl' you will notice that, as of this writing,
138.2MiB of Perls' 307.6MiB closure is due to referencing gcc's
default output in '/lib/perl5/5.22.1/x86_64-linux/Config_heavy.pl'.
Perl's large closure inflates the closures of many other packages,
such as openssl.

Does anyone familiar with Perl know if we really need to a reference
to GCC here?  Would be great to remove it. :)

Fixed in 81cea47d4a4c0054beb234004b990d6f514d0514 on ‘core-updates’.

Most likely this was a regression introduced with the upgrade to 5.22 in
4de35074833742e45237464bb1727ce1a55f3336.  Previously the issue had been
addressed in f727ec5bc8a6f97ae1083026e508b917235dfd2d.

Thanks,
