I am running macOS Sierra but I have /nix on an external SSD which is formatted as Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+.

According to @shlevy, Nix assumes that Darwin implies a case-insensitive file system. The Darwin hacks were causing problems for me when running nix-build in a Haskell project due to a conflict between a package named Compactable and another named compactable. Adding use-case-hack = false to my nix.conf fixed the issue.

Rather than make assumptions about the file system, Nix should determine whether the file system is case-sensitive.

Specifically, the problem was with callHackage and the fact that nix removed the compactable directory of all-cabal-hashes in favor of the Compactable directory

Ran into this today. Currently there is no good workaround for this without using the bleeding edge version of Nix, due to #2009 and 2b61c74 only just recently getting merged.

(pkgsStatic.perl): Patch Perl to avoid duplicate symbos with static m…
1a373ff 
…usl.

This commit backports a commit introduced on Perl 5.39.2 to allow
`pkgs.pkgsStatic.perl` to compile without raising errors about duplicate
symbols being defined during the linking process.

This fixes NixOS#295608

| Tested on | Status |
| --- | --- |
| M1 Mac (aarch64-darwin) | Failed due to other issues* |
- NixOS VM (x86_64-linux) | Compiling |

**Test method**:

```sh
nix repl -I nixpkgs=$PWD
nix repl> pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {}
nix repl> :b pkgs.perl
nix repl> :b pkgs.pkgsStatic.perl
```

Despite the upstream commit being scoped to all environments, we are only
applying this patch only on the `pkgsStatic` context to avoid rebuilding all of
NixOS packages by changing Perl.

*MacOS: `pkgsStatic.perl` still fails to compile after this change due to MacOS
case-insensitiviness affecting the build recipe under /tmp, as
`perl-cross/configure` is copied over `perl/Configure` file, as well as not
finding `readelf` for the `configurePhase`.
