The upstream repository has been archived, with a note that this should never be needed:
https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc

It also happens to have custom patch logic that will fail the newer cargo
verification in #79975

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 compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-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.

I kind of disagree with the argument that wasm-gc is now unnecessary (the rust compiler is not the only one), but my use case is indeed solved without it now, I don't know how many other users of it there are nowadays, and the repo is archived and thus officially unmaintained… so I'm totally ok with removing this from nixpkgs!
