Motivation for this change
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 tarball evaluation nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A tarball
  • 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

Thanks! We didn't catch that one. Though I would prefer to do these overrides only on i686-linux if only that arch is indeed affected.

i686 is just the first platform expressions are evaluated for, the nix-env binary is always x86_64-linux. Running nix-env -qa --drv-path (and presumably other evaluations) with a gcc9 based build should be enough to reproduce.
