Research direction

The Homebrew package definitions are the starting point; inspect how their binaries are built and where the ts_omit_* build tags belong. Verify the packages build with those tags and that the resulting binaries are the intended smaller Homebrew artifacts.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The homebrew packages aren't yet using the ts_omit_* build tags.

Tracking bug to do so.
