Comment(by batterseapower):
I'm being particularly slow today. The issue was obvious once I looked at
the simplified output rather than the tidied core - there is a non-dead
function later in that letrec (go_s1gC) that has a RULE that rewrites to
$sgo_s1lg.
It is sort of unfortunate that this is keeping the thing it refers to
alive even after core tidying, where rules cannot possibly apply any more.
