Maybe it's not really related to this particular problem, but beware of
similar conditions during cross-compiling, as stdenv.isXxxx and
stdenv.system describes the *build* platform and not the host one, and
typically we use it in the other meaning.

Some other common caveats: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/14965
(I was mainly cross-compiling from Linux to MinGW, but some issues apply
the same.)
