Motivation for this change

There are multiple AppImage applications which require libat* libraries even though the exclude list doesn't mention them.

This fixes #68267.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • 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.

LGTM, already has at-spi2-atk.

Are we just accepting bad packaging instead of pushing upstreams to fix their builds? I can see the practical reasons for doing this, but we should spend at least some effort I think towards informing upstreams.

Also, see the comments in the file that is edited. If we add additional libraries, don't add them to the main list because its no longer clear which ones are expected and which not.

@FRidh From previous discussions I've seen on this exact situation appearing upstream didn't really have a "taste" for it. Perhaps they don't declare at-spi2-core because at-spi2-atk depends on it so it gets pulled in on impure environments.

I put at-spi2-atk below libtool.lib.
