Looks like was a simple small problem, see commit fixing.

  • 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 nox --run "nox-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)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Since gcc.lib/lib64 is a symlink to 'lib', the use of
"lib*/libgcc_s.so*" triggered a warning (error) with
the latest coreutils.  Essentially we were doing:

$ cp a/x b/x y/

And latest coreutils rejects such invocations.

Just copy from 'lib', lib64 is a link to it anyway.

* Nothing else in this file bothers looking at lib*
* AFAICT lib* only ever possibly matched lib64 anyway
