Additional context

reported in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/291901#issuecomment-1976557559

I'm not familiar with swift or clang, but I'm using the following overlay as a workaround until it's fixed.

self: super: {
  swiftPackages = super.swiftPackages // {
    clang = super.swiftPackages.clang.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
      postFixup =
        (oldAttrs.postFixup or "")
        + ''
          sed -i "s/'-march=.*'//g" $out/nix-support/add-local-cc-cflags-before.sh
        '';
    });
  };
};

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/296082#issuecomment-2003578574 states that this only fixed the swift build but all downstream packages are still broken. re-opening.

all downstream packages are still broken

Actually, it seems only dark-mode-notify is broken, others seem fine. Probably because it uses Cocoa or disables sandbox. I don't know for sure.

[natsukium]

I noticed that my personal package does not build either. Maybe it's because of swift itself or swiftpm?
