Is that something Guix-specific?  As far as I know, with rpm and dpkg,
the binaries are always stripped, and I'm not aware of any problem with
that.

Incidentally, you could save about half the size of the boost
contribution to closures like this by separating the headers and the
libraries, but there was some problem I don;t remember when I tried.
