Yes! I used the strings utility. I get two references to bash-static in
the store with 'eeeee'. Speaking of which, do you know if it's possible
to be spawned into an environment where %static-binaries's gawk package
(and only that one) sources are extracted, patched and configured? So
that I can investigate the inclusion of bash-static comfortably.

I hear, however that smells like a hack to me, I'd like to avoid
resorting to such unless absolutely necessary. How come it's not
possible to find where that bash-static reference is being inserted?
