If you pass a `-v` flag to your `swift build` invocation, it will print exact commands for the build. Would you be able to infer which one takes the most...

This is interesting, but I'm not sure why this takes much less time for non-Wasm builds, if I understand correctly what you posted above. We didn't make any changes to...

Formally, ICU dependency is removed from the standard library, but in terms of binary size this makes things even worse for people linking with Foundation, because the latter still depends...
