pkgsStatic.borgbackup fails

[nomeata]

I tried to build a static version of borgbackup, but it failed:

$ nix build pkgsStatic.borgbackup -f .

This is with nixpkgs revision 6cc7e33ac8ac7b255bd621e8fbfb29c1fd49966e

It is not super important to me, so if reports about a random package not building statically are not helpful at this point, feel free to just close this.

Looks like keyutils is not able to build the static library.

krb5 has a conditional to disable keyutils on bionic and llvm https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/5ad0677aec2455e664992d93d063d5cb34a32e2f/pkgs/development/libraries/kerberos/krb5.nix#L44

We could either add a musl condition there, or apply cross-compilation tweaks to keyutils. (Gentoo seem to has this.)

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

1. Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
2. Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
3. Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

I just needed keyutils to get something else built statically. I managed to get it building with the following patch:

I didn't do further research on this, however e.g. openssh seems to break on pkgsStatic as well.

@Ma27 You should open a PR with that patch (changes conditional on stdenv.targetPlatform.isStatic)!
