We go out of our way (see top of file) to build a single binary
with symlinks for all of the tools, but were losing them
when preparing the bootstrap tools.

  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-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.

Tarball compression masked the worst of this, but still this is easier on the compressor (much faster to bundle the tools) and the unpacked path is much smaller before/without nix store hard-link optimization.
