Was having lists in env automatically have toString run on them ever considered?

nix-repl> keepassxc.NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE

anyone know why we add ldso to needed for (as far as I can tell) just aarch64? i can't get the same result on x86_64-linux, and I don't see any extra flags added via ld-wrapper that would cause this.
