Build failures against staging

Build failures against staging

[Yureka]

Hello everyone,


I attempted to build a spectrum (rev. 
c5d5786d3dc938af0b279c542d1e43bce381b4b9) image against nixpkgs staging 
(rev eb681f8139a93020f51b8256fc7dfe057b44747f) on x86_64. Here are the 
derivations which failed to build, for further investigation:

- /nix/store/cbjmszj7r5r0abka3jsr6pijxba0sd2q-iproute2-6.17.0.drv 
(pkgsMusl.iproute2)
- 
/nix/store/f1cc5abbfjslqvy6wkzrzsmsjj4hpk6h-openssl-static-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl-3.6.0.drv 
(pkgsStatic.openssl)

The following also fail, but seem to have no specific connection 
spectrum or pkgsMusl/pkgsStatic (the GNU counterparts are broken on 
staging with the same error):

- /nix/store/g0bklsp2daxxq74pkb3mqjcrb919194i-python3.13-inkex-1.4.2.drv 
(python3.pkgs.inkex)
- 
/nix/store/nfwcjnbp6rv4cgzrxdqljc1k1h72z3kk-python3.13-cryptography-vectors-46.0.1.drv 
(python3.pkgs.cryptography.vectors)
- 
/nix/store/36674wi2rkanm2ds2bx1183w7knj9mr0-wasilibc-static-wasm32-unknown-wasi-27.drv 
(pkgsCross.wasi32.stdenv.cc.libc, needed for firefox)


I hope this is useful to catch any problems affecting spectrum before 
the following staging-next cycle.

Very useful, thank you!  Would be nice to spread this work out some
more. :)

This was fixed by https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/451338 (merged) 
and https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/451397

Masked by the iproute2 failure was the fact that systemd 258 needs an 
updated patchset to build with Musl. After emilazy hinting at upstream 
efforts to improve musl support, I have made an attempt to use the 
patchset by the systemd folks: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/451274

The cause has been tracked down to 
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/442945 which unintentionally 
enabled new hardening flags for the wasi target

I've accumulated the fixes which have not yet been merged (which are 
currently still the systemd and python3.pkgs.inkex fixes) in the 
spectrum branch of my nixpkgs fork, which can be used to build a 
spectrum live image:
