Motivation for this change

Side-stepping a problem with Nix-on-Droid.

Disables use of posix_spawn breaking on-device builds in Nix-on-Droid,
which currently piggy-backs on regular aarch64 nixpkgs builds.
https://discourse.nixos.org/t/9875

I understand this is a long shot, and generally not a very sane request,
but I'm desperate for options, and maybe it isn't that bad after all.

I'll totally understand if this won't be merged, but I thought it won't hurt to ask.
