maralorn	I mean, we somehow use ghc bindists in nixpkgs, right?^^	16:10:38
maralorn	I don’t even know what our derivations for that do differently from ghcup. 😄	16:10:55
maralorn	A fod of what?	16:11:12
teo (they/he)	I was just reading the binary GHC bindist code. There's a bit of complexity there, but it's mostly just using patchelf to provide the C deps	16:12:36
teo (they/he)	The Haskell libs come from relative paths and that apparently complicates the patchelf stuff somehow	16:13:43
