Build failure: dwarf-fortress on darwin

[fmoda3]

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. build dwarf-fortress on MacOS (or presumably any non-linux systems listed in the supported platform list)

   export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNFREE=1
   nix build "nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable#dwarf-fortress" --impure

       , refusing to evaluate.

       a) To temporarily allow packages that are unsupported for this system, you can use an environment variable
          for a single invocation of the nix tools.

            $ export NIXPKGS_ALLOW_UNSUPPORTED_SYSTEM=1

          Note: When using `nix shell`, `nix build`, `nix develop`, etc with a flake,
                then pass `--impure` in order to allow use of environment variables.

       b) For `nixos-rebuild` you can set
         { nixpkgs.config.allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
       in configuration.nix to override this.

       c) For `nix-env`, `nix-build`, `nix-shell` or any other Nix command you can add
         { allowUnsupportedSystem = true; }
       to ~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix.

Additional context

I think this is due to the v50 update adding in the autoPatchelfHook dependency, which is linux only:

@fmoda3 Can you give https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/317116 a shot? Don't have a Darwin system to test but it at least evals now.

@numinit Just posted a comment on your PR with info. It passes eval, but fails at build (seems to be looking for a windows executable).

Weirdly OS X actually uses a binary called dwarfort.exe...
