I think ATerm library is worth mentioning.
If Nix will not work when you have only (development versions of)
packages it depends on in Nixpkgs (replace stdenv with glibc-devel,
bash, coreutils, sed, make, findutils, grep and gcc; discard fetchurl),
it is a bug both in Nixpkgs and Nix, please report it. Because Nix must
force packages to list all dependencies and Nixpkgs are supposed to do it.
