In 4.1, the build system changed, and it now wants to execute ld like this:
ld -r -o util/scripting-engines/libperf-in.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.o util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o
The actual problem seems to be that `buildInputs = [elfutils ...]`
causes 'ld' to point to elfutils in PATH instead of the usual binutils.
So remove elfutils from buildInputs and set NIX_CFLAGS_* manually. This
is a slight hack, but there is some precedent:
0761f81da7/pkgs/tools/package-management/rpm/default.nix (L13)
Fixes #9095.
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-14.12 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-14.12
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
