@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Ross @eelco:nixos.org do you know why i*86 platforms are forced to i686 for the Nix system in configure.ac? 19:26:04
@qyliss:fairydust.spaceAlyssa Rossin #exotic:nixos.org we're wondering what the way to go would be for somebody to build e.g. i486 packages19:26:43
@niksnut:matrix.orgniksnutDunno, it has been that way for a long time. Probably to avoid getting i786 or whatever.20:11:10

Oh, here is the explanation:

commit 966bd9d19fb43b6a6022572eb7d80c1e03bfaf3e
Author: Eelco Dolstra <e.dolstra@tudelft.nl>
Date:   Fri Aug 13 09:57:51 2004 +0000

    * WTF?  More canonical system name problems ("athlon-linux" instead of
      "i686-linux").

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnar Did something change regarding the cycle detection? Now I am getting “error: cycle detected in build of … in the references of output 'lib' from output 'jack'” and the output paths for the cyclic outputs are not in the store, not even with --keep-failed 01:38:50
