Fixes #49071 On ld.gold, we produce broken executables when linking with the Musl libc. This appears to be a known bug when using ld.gold and Musl. This thread describes the workaround as enabling PIE when using ld.gold and Musl: https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/05/01/5 By default we don’t enable PIE to avoid breaking things. But in the Musl case we are breaking things by not enabling PIE. So this adds a special case for defaultHardeningFlags which keeps the pie hardening for everything. Any packages that break with PIE can add the pie flag to disableHardeningFlags array (a no-op for now on anything but Musl).
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 https://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-18.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-18.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS Linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
