 Electro | Interestingly the pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.clang package does have its own arm_neon.h that presumably works, though of course I want to cross compile... | 00:25:56 |

| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | this is where I was in, not exotic targets | 12:25:05 |

| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Alyssa Ross: can https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/452642 be merged or do we wait for Perl itself to be fixed? | 00:15:35 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Also what about https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445833 ? | 00:58:19 |
 Alyssa Ross | That same fix would have to be made for every other package using that perl header, and everywhere we apply that hack, we'd have to undo it when perl is fixed properly. | 08:23:33 |
| Alyssa Ross | I'm still waiting for a response on that one. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/445833#discussion_r2384088584 | 08:23:42 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | I'm not sure on it, so I'll just keep applying it locally | 08:42:16 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | Yeah better to wait then | 08:42:35 |
|  @neobrain:matrix.org left the room. | 10:30:47 |
 emily | FWIW pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.bintoolsNoLibc does not evaluate on x86_64-linux right now. it works on 25.05. | 20:54:51 |
| emily | broken by 5c1955ff1404eddf3c0379a0573aabe83ac5bca3 | 20:59:35 |

| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/197674/files this PR confuses me deeply | 01:04:30 |
| emily | we don't support Canadian cross, right? we never have all of build, host, and target distinct? | 01:04:43 |
| emily | but this NOP apparently fixed things at some point? | 01:05:13 |
| emily | I must be too tired to think properly :) | 01:05:29 |
| emily | ok, no, it's not a nop, the derivations before and after differ, I'm just confused | 01:10:07 |
| emily | oh | 01:11:38 |
| emily | libraries = lib.makeExtensible (libraries: let
callPackage = newScope (libraries // buildLlvmTools // { inherit stdenv cmake libxml2 python3 isl release_version version monorepoSrc; });

| 01:11:45 |
| emily | yeah that. would explain it. | 01:11:47 |
| matthewcroughan @ 39c3 (DECT 94667 or 97340 or 67192) | What is Canadian cross, and where can I learn more about the origins of this terM/ | 14:22:39 |

 Puna | different platforms for build, host & target. i.e. cross-compiling (x86_64-linux -> aarch64-linux) a cross-compiler (aarch64-linux -> riscv64-none) | 14:26:43 |
