Motivation for this change

On NixOS 18.09 (I don't think master behaves differently), running hardinfo from a terminal and accessing the "Summary" section under "Computer" will show an error in said terminal that accessing /lib/libc.so.6 failed.

This PR fixes this by substituteInPlaceing the affected line with ${stdenv.glibc.out}/lib/libc.so.6 (taken from other packages' solutions). The message goes away, though the report does not appear to have changed…


There is another error message when accessing the Battery option under Devices, where it will repeatedly print

sh: -c: This option requires an argument.

that I don't know how to fix, but it's more likely to get fixed in this much newer fork, problem being that there hasn't been a release since 0.5.1 in 2009 either because of some minor blockers.

Perhaps we should consider switching to that fork and pinning a recent commit like Ubuntu did instead of waiting for upstream to publish a new version after 10 years of code changes since 0.5.1.
