Re: Porting to mips64el

Here's what I did:

(define %bootstrap-inputs
  `(("libc" ,(nixpkgs-derivation "glibc" "mips64el-linux"))
    ("bash" "/bin/sh")
    ,@(map (lambda (name)
             (list name (nixpkgs-derivation name "mips64el-linux")))
           '("gnutar" "gzip" "bzip2" "xz" "patch"
             "coreutils" "gnused" "gnugrep"
             "gawk"                                ; used by `config.status'
             "gcc" "binutils"))))

(I used the same [1] '/bin/sh'.  Should I build another one using
different flags?)

Build failed:

(Why was it trying to use the one from the store?)
