This is just a warning, but really, don’t run everything as ‘root’.

Another unimplemented feature:

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/hurd/hurd.git/tree/pflocal/io.c#n569

In nix/nix-daemon/nix-daemon.cc, could you comment out the line that
reads ‘#define HAVE_HUP_NOTIFICATION’, then rebuild and try again?

Let me know if that works and I’ll propose a patch for Nix, which is
where this code comes from.

TIA,
