Additional supporting infrastructure which would be nice:

track statistics about ELFs (dt_needed, run paths, etc.)
track closure size
track build time

@SomeoneSerge I believe you had mentioned possibly getting some of this information from a Hercules CI instance?

On https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/237761: should fat bins be the default?

@SomeoneSerge you mentioned that there might already be an issue to track that discussion -- how does it fit in with the broader "which capabilities do we provide by default, and in what way"? As in, multi-capability binaries vs. single-capability binaries.
