The conditional preventing closure bloat unfortunately didn't apply for
the nix attribute, which is at 2.3.10 (not 2.4.*, what this did check
for).

Motivation for this change

Don't pull in x86 binaries when cross-compiling a whole NixOS.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The conditional preventing closure bloat unfortunately didn't apply for
the `nix` attribute, which is at 2.3.10 (not 2.4.*, what this did check
for).

Due to the somewhat funny 2.4pre* version strings used for nixUnstable
not being understood by lib.versionOlder, we also need to explicitly add
a check for that.

Note nixUnstable currently doesn't cross-compile either. There seem to be some issues with the recent markdown additions.

However, I see this orthogonal to that PR.
