@tomberek Can we merge?

@KAction I don't have merge permissions. But as i'm looking at this again, the normal build still works as expected, but i am not able to get the static build working.

I tried nix-build -A pkgsStatic.tinycdb, my expectation was that this would create a static version, but it fails with:

 setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to timestamp 1336746967 of file tinycdb-0.78/debian/rules
  patching sources
  updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsPhase
  configuring
  no configure script, doing nothing
  building
  build flags: SHELL=/nix/store/2jysm3dfsgby5sw5jgj43qjrb5v79ms9-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash prefix=\$\(out\) CC=cc AR=ar RANLIB=ranlib static
  cc -O -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c cdb_init.c
  /nix/store/2jysm3dfsgby5sw5jgj43qjrb5v79ms9-bash-4.4-p23/bin/bash: cc: command not found

The build logic may work for a cross compilation to static, i did not test that.

@tomberek It looks like I messed up build/target/host distinction. Not sure why it worked for me previously. Anyway, should be fine now.

@ryantm You merged original submission, so you are my best hope to get this merged. Is is appropriate logic in finding someone with commit bit set?

Confirmed nix-build -A pkgsStatic.tinycdb works.

It doesn't look like this PR is breaking the evaluation.
