This change raises the question of whether we should disable building of shared libraries altogether (since we don't link them). Unfortunately, we can't, because GHC expects shared libraries to be around when building and running test suites, and no amount of passing --disable-shared flags at configure time changes the fact. I *guess* that's related to the DYNAMIC_GHC_PROGRAMS = YES flag we set when building GHC itself, but I haven't investigated it further yet. Closes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/29011.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the Hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
