It turns out none of this stuff is needed. The docs aren't evenly built properly anyways so the build trivially succeeds either way, due to what looks like upstream misunderstanding automake. If I try to build the docs manually in a cross shell (before and after this change), there's a make rule error such that some HTML files aren't even attempted to be built and then a copy fails. Even if this was all fixed, these been a good number of cross fixes upstream getting them to use CC_FOR_BUILD and other good stuff, so I doubt such hacks would be needed. Progress towards #40531 and #33302.
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.
