This fix is required for the raspherry pi 3 with glibc 2.27,
otherwise the kernel panics in initrd with:

Suse has done the same to circumvent crashes with hostname resolving in
glibc 2.27 on aarch64.

  • 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.
