Could you add a comment explaining why things are split?  I suppose this
was motivated by the size of the closure or something, no?

Also, adding an explicit --bindir is normally not necessary: ‘configure’
in gnu-build-system.scm does that when there’s a “bin” output.  Or did
it turn out to be buggy?

Thanks,
