Motivation for this change

We don't force enableStaticLibraries for Windows or WASM because it
will just fail an assertion.

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.

@Ericson2314 Could you explain what this PR does? I don't really understand what is going on here.

Also, how would I go about testing that this PR is working as intended?

cc @nh2 as well.

It might be nice to have a quick note here explaining that hostPlatform.isStatic means that we don't want any shared libraries built (or maybe they are not available to link against?).

(Actually I don't know this, I'm just guessing from the names... which is why it would be nice to have a comment about it.)

@cdepillabout I thought a bit about out; since this is always what isStatic is for I think it would be better to add more documention where it is defined instead, rather than at every use site.

We don't force `enableStaticLibraries` for Windows or WASM because it
will just fail an assertion.
