httpie has quite extensive documentation in form of its rst readme.
With docutils it’s quite easy to convert to html.
We can also convert it to a manpage, which makes the documentation
accessible from the command line (even though it’s not quite standard
format as far as manpages go; however a lot better than nothing).
The current version of glibc implements support for kernels down to
3.2.0 (and we make sure to enable such support with apporopriate
--enable-kernel setting). The current RHEL6 operating system is based on
a maintained kernel based on 2.6.32 with lots of backports. We provide
basic support for this specific kernel by patching glibc to provide an
exception for this specific version of kernel. This allows for nixpkgs
software distribution to work on RHEL6 and it does so quite well with
almost no problems. There are, however, a few syscalls that are missing
in the 2.6.32 kernel, one of which is prlimit64. This commit provides a
fallback that uses an older {get,set}rlimit syscalls in cases when
prlimit64 is not available. This should streamline the experience for
nixpkgs users wanting to run it on RHEL6, namely, this fixes one of the
tests in findutils.

CONFIG_IP_MULTIPLE_TABLES is part of the default x86 kernel config but
absent from the Aarch64 one. Adding explicitely this flag together
with its dependency IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER.
Both of these config flags are needed to use the routing policy
facilities.
* Append to config.mk instead of substituting
* Remove unused path substitution (rgbpaths.patch was deleted in f6c28984f2)
* -lz in LDFLAGS does not seem to be necessary
* Touching the file (introduced in 4dd9507b83) does not seem to be necessary.
The build script check whether JPEGLIB and ZLIB are not set to NONE.
We did not set the latter as pkg-config handles zlib requirement
for libpng dependency and the comment in config.mk only talks about
zlib being needed for libpng.
Since libtiff only needs libz for static linking, we turn TIFFLIB_NEEDS_ZLIB
off instead of pointlessly setting ZLIB value.
