Hmm, could it be then that everything that this commits seems to trigger
has an already sucessfully built version in the store that matches the
description without the commit (cross x86_64 gcc, bootrap gcc etc).

In that case, it "simply" breaks cross gcc and bootstrap gcc?  However,
I fail to see how this happens.  And "tar" missing

    In execvp of tar: No such file or directory

during

    builder for 
`/gnu/store/m6gq2xz5kd3vn4zm1i0i6j0immlgyhmg-make-boot0-4.1.drv' failed with 
exit code 1
    cannot build derivation 
`/gnu/store/1fjnm2x2az4z4qaz3bad5p5zbygf5wqs-gcc-cross-boot0-4.9.3.drv': 

I figured this all could/should not be the result of this commit?

Yes, reverting it produces the cross-built readline.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's what happens.
