Motivation for this change

Fix the build after recent breakage.

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 nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

The imake rules contain a comment line that looks like a pragma. Recently imake
in nixpkgs was switched to use tradcpp, which is a bit more strict about
interpreting unknown pragmas. To fix the build, the comments is changed to use
C++ style comments.

Is this package intended to run arm? Otherwise aarch64 could be removed from the platforms.

@markuskowa No idea. But let's disable it just to not bother aarch64 maintainers with this.

From my experience many scientific HPC software packages have never been tested on arm. I think we are on the safe side restricting it to x86 for now.
