I noticed that since this change, Go programs (that is, command-line
executables) keep references to their inputs:
$ guix gc --references $(./pre-inst-env guix build --no-grafts kurly)
/gnu/store/2b2md66fbzyspsmd5dj6zkj9hilac40r-tzdata-2018e
/gnu/store/4iwksvq53rlzphfp3xvp63ihlw226c0n-go-github-com-aki237-nscjar-0.0.0-0.e2df936
/gnu/store/5rxdjbk8h0bh1hbaan8y8ib13va2bcmw-net-base-5.3

/gnu/store/f8yps0l8p371jgzh6cki0z5n2kgfjiwy-go-github-com-urfave-cli-1.19.1-0.934abfb
/gnu/store/l4lr0f5cjd0nbsaaf8b5dmcw1a1yypr3-glibc-2.27
/gnu/store/pp0bakrbyv9xmp1kyv2114l19s11b74z-gcc-6.4.0-lib
Previously, they did not:
$ guix gc --references $(guix build --no-grafts kurly)
/gnu/store/2b2md66fbzyspsmd5dj6zkj9hilac40r-tzdata-2018e
/gnu/store/5rxdjbk8h0bh1hbaan8y8ib13va2bcmw-net-base-5.3
/gnu/store/l4lr0f5cjd0nbsaaf8b5dmcw1a1yypr3-glibc-2.27
/gnu/store/pp0bakrbyv9xmp1kyv2114l19s11b74z-gcc-6.4.0-lib
Is this expected? I thought that Go programs were always statically
linked.

The issue of Go packages keeping references to all their Go-language is
inputs is resolved with commit e3900a4d64e4bf6f426809d6bff058e5a2ae9bc8.
This commit basically avoids bringing the store paths into the build
environment at all by symlinking them into a union directory in the
TMPDIR. This is a bit of a hack but it's actually more idiomatic in Go
to have all the inputs in a single directory ("workspace" in Go). The
previous technique of passing a list of directories in the GOPATH
variable is officially supported but is definitely a 2nd-class technique
in practice.

Not having read the reference scanner code carefully, I expect that it
ignores the '/gnu/store/' since this path is actually configurable.

In (guix build-system go), I'd like to construct of list of inputs that
use the go-build-system and pass this list to the biuld side. This would
be useful for other things, but could also be used to detect which
inputs are Go libraries.

Waiting for upstream is always the easiest way :)
But it would still be nice to have Boyer-Moore available in (guix build
utils) for whenever we want to use it. Or even in Guile itself...
