Build failure: lix on x86_64-darwin

[eilvelia]

Steps To Reproduce

Using nix.package = pkgs.lix; on nix-darwin builds lix from source and eventually fails with:

[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 248 tests from 53 test suites ran. (585 ms total)
[  PASSED  ] 245 tests.
[  FAILED  ] 3 tests, listed below:
[  FAILED  ] compress.compressWithUnknownMethod
[  FAILED  ] decompress.decompressInvalidInputThrowsCompressionError
[  FAILED  ] Config.applyConfigInvalidThrows

 3 FAILED TESTS
  YOU HAVE 2 DISABLED TESTS

stderr:
Using configuration: seed=6325455801096409188

Summary of Failures:

3/5 lix:check / libexpr-unit-tests  FAIL            0.40s   exit status 1
2/5 lix:check / libstore-unit-tests FAIL            0.58s   exit status 1
5/5 lix:check / libcmd-unit-tests   FAIL            0.65s   exit status 1
1/5 lix:check / libutil-unit-tests  FAIL            0.72s   exit status 1

Ok:                 1   
Expected Fail:      0   
Fail:               4   

The build on hydra also doesn't work: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/270128529 (seems to fail for both lix 2.91 and lix 2.90 now)

A temporary workaround is to do pkgs.lix.overrideAttrs { doCheck = false; doInstallCheck = false; }.
