Motivation for this change

The previous version, 1.4.9rc1 would not run for me after a fresh install. Since the tarball for that was the latest version available on SourceForge, I switched to using the GitHub sources at the current latest commit. This removes the need for the arch patches too.

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 nix-review --run "nix-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.

Add autoreconfHook (instead of automake and autoconf and libtool) to nativeBuildInputs.

So what's up with their releases names: https://github.com/exult/exult/releases ?

It seems to me they use the releases names to imply what major changes were done in that release. Hence, I'd switch to a date based version = and download whatever they count as a release.

This seems like an interesting feature. Could you perhaps add a enableTools to the derivation's arguments and use lib.optionals here?
