The Firefox issue turned into
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/1868, which was closed when it
was decided a wrapper that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH could fix it. Should
the issue get re-opened? Was that never implemented, or does it not
solve the problem?

Fellow Nix'ers,
friendly supporters of the cause from all over the world have run a few
thousand Haskell builds in the name of learning more about the effects
of our favorite GHC bug [2]. It's fair to say that the CPU cycles
invested into this endeavor have been well spent. Here are the results.
Thanks for organizing this experiment Peter! I imagine the GHC
developers would also be interested in the results.

Ah, sorry, I'm not really familiar with nss. Does the libnss_sss
version have to match what's installed system-wide, rather than e.g.
being a build input?
Also, doesn't fetchgit produce fixed-output derivations*, meaning
purity depends only on the sh256 hash of the output matching, and not
on how
I would say, it does not solve the problem.
If adding the system libnss_sss path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be an
acceptable solution for firefox, I think it is not for fetchgit/git.
Adding libnss_sss to the LD_PATH as requirement for any invocation of
igt would make any build using fetchgit
Sigh. This is the procedure I should have been using:
http://nixos.org/nixos/manual/sec-upgrading.html
The reason I made so many mistakes was that I was following the Nix manual
rather than the NixOS manual. Why would I do that? The table of contents for
the NixOS manual doesn't mention
