$ nix-env -qa --system-filter \* --arg system '"powerpc-darwin"'

  to override the system from the default value (__currentSystem in
  all-packages.nix).

5744dd5480 * Support the --attr / -A flag in nix-env as well. So now we can do,
e.g.,

  $ nix-env -i -A subversion xorg.xorgserver

  The main advantage over using symbolic names is that using attribute
  names is unambiguous and much, much faster.

  been changed to `--referrer' and `--referrer-closure' (but the old
  ones are still accepted for compatibility).
