Motivation for this change

Some platforms I've been targeting in my cross-builds.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing
    (nix.useSandbox on NixOS,
    or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf
    on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • Linux
  • 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.

Unrelated to your review, but do you have a NixOS config for utilite too? I have one and have been wondering if I can install NixOS on it easily

@copumpkin It's been a long time since I got everything working, but you should find most of my notes in these files: https://github.com/elitak/nixos-utilite It can be quite tricky to get the thing booting with the default version of uboot they ship. The ubootUtilite attr in this commit will build a new image to replace the stock one, but I don't remember if it's essential. I think I just wanted it for uEnv.txt support. Good luck.

Edit: Oh I overlooked the fact that I had bootstrapped the entire system off of the ARMv7 packages made available on the wiki page about bootstrapping nixos, which took ages, so, in summary, the whole process is quite complex and requires reflashing uboot and rebuilding world several times if you don't have a rootfs image to start with. I can maybe image my host for you if you're still interested.

`pkgsNoParams` was removed by me, but then NixOS#25035 was merged using it,
leading to an unbound identifier.

It would be nice to get travis to do build release-cross.nix or
something to catch these things.
