In `scripts/Makefile.modinst`, the code that generates the list of
modules to install passes file names via the command line. When
installing a grsecurity kernel, this list appears to exceed the
shell's argument list limit, as in
make[2]: execvp: /nix/store/[...]-bash-4.3-p46/bin/bash: Argument list too long
The build does not fail, however, but the list of modules to be installed ends
up being empty. Thus, the resulting kernel package output contains no modules,
rendering it useless.
We work around this by patching the makefile to use `find -exec` to
process files. Why this would occur for grsecurity and not other
kernels is unknown, most likely there's something *else* that is
actually causing this behaviour, so this is a temporary fix until that
cause is found.

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-16.09 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
