I expect the build farm people work on getting a good picture of the branch status.

What do you think the difference can be, between trunk and stdenv-updates? If you can work on it, it would be great.

That build error is related to a quite old revision of stdenv-updates; I think the build farm problems are the reason for still having those builds as the last builds attempted. > > Personally I’d rather not spend much time investigating problems on > > non-GNU platforms for these.

I consider non-GNU platforms blocking for the merge. It is not that I use any of them, but we have plenty (in percent terms) of nix users on non-GNU systems.
