How do I override the libc in a Nix package to be musl?












3















I'm using Nix as a dependency manager for a Rust program. I have the following default.nix (simplified, but working):



rec {
pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};

hello = pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation rec {
name = "rust-hello";

buildInputs = [
pkgs.rustc
];

src = ./source;

buildPhase = "rustc main.rs -o rust-hello";
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/bin
install -s rust-hello $out/bin
'';
};
}


I'm trying to override the libc for all dependencies (including the Rust compiler) to be pkg.musl, but I fail to do so. How can this be achieved?
