Hey :)

Issue description

logrotate fails to build on current master
See https://hydra.nixos.org/build/57335219

Steps to reproduce

With current master:
nix-build '<nixpkgs>' --option build-use-chroot true --option build-use-sandbox true --keep-going -K -A logrotate

Technical details

Did a quick bisect leading me to 093cc00 or 3739858 (ping @Ericson2314)
Unfortunately my battery is running low so I can not pinpoint which of those 2 introduced the issue at the moment.

The second once has since been reverted for sake of MacOS's old bash in nix-shell. The former however can break builds with the new env-vars it defines. I left a message in that commit, but the tl;dr is try

{
  preConfigure = ''
    LD=$CC
    # or `unset LD`
  '';
}

[fadenb]

I tried what you suggested (both LD=$CC as well as unsetting LD) but it had no effect.

[Ericson2314]

Ah unset CPP—it's trying to use that to build C code, not merely preprocess. But that's quite the upstream bug; I'm curious what's calling it.

Fixed by using autoconf, the way we were packaging it was deprecated upstream anyway. Updated it while at it.
