Sorry for the false alarm. I am compiling it ok now. Maybe it was too early in
the morning, but I was using a cached (old) version of s6 source code. The nix
package derivation for s6 contains:
src = fetchgit {
url = "git://git.skarnet.org/s6";
rev = "refs/tags/v${version}";
sha256 = "1g8gr3znxj8lyqpwrmgzh47yb64zldrvvvgpp1m4pb37k5k11bj9";
};
And if you update ${version}, fail to update sha256, and happen to have the
previous version in your local cache, nix will happily use it (since the sha256
matches) rather than re-fetch from github. Oops.
