Description
Recent changes to the Refc support files require a newer version of the macOS stdenv than Nixpkgs defaults to. This PR builds the Support derivation against the newer stdenv and patches a spot where the support derivation would have otherwise been rebuilt as part of the bootstrapping process.
This has no impact on non-nix builds for non-macos platforms.
Should this change go in the CHANGELOG?
implementation, I have updated
CHANGELOG_NEXT.md
(and potentially alsoCONTRIBUTORS.md
).
