Commit 986f361946 started to use
<nix/fetchurl.nix> to "download" the bootstrap binaries from the
Nixpkgs tree, using the file:/// scheme. This has really bad
consequences:
* It makes any derivation depend on the path of the Nixpkgs tree. So
evaluating a package will produce a different .drv file when run
from different locations. No wonder Hydra evaluation has been so
slow lately: for every Nixpkgs evaluation, it had to create tens of
thousands of .drv files, even if nothing had changed.
* It requires the builder to have file system access to the Nixpkgs
tree. So if your tree is in your home directory, the stdenv
bootstrap would probably fail.
So now the binaries are downloaded from tarballs.nixos.org.
Also dropped PowerPC "support".
Thanks to @offlinehacker for the fixes.
* 'crossdev' of github.com:offlinehacker/nixpkgs:
gifsicle: add optional static builds, make gifview optional
libjpeg_original: add optional static builds
optipng: use system libpng & zlib, fix cross builds and add ...
xcode: fix hash
libarchive: *permanently* fix patch source and hash
The ability for unprivileged users to mount external media is useful
regardless of the desktop environment. Also, since udisks2 is
activated on-demand, it doesn't add any overhead if you're not using it.
The version of v8 to use for Chromium is heavily tied to the specific
version of Chromium and thus it doesn't really make sense to use v8 from
<nixpkgs>, as we would need to have 3 different versions of v8, one for
each Chromium channel.

Apparently systemd is now smart enough to figure out predictable names
for QEMU network interfaces. But since our tests expect them to be
named eth0/eth1..., this is not desirable at the moment.

It doesn't make sense to do the splitting of the source code on a remote
machine, so don't try to do it.
