error: build of '/nix/store/g3n5dybgakx8c18vwhwd8lwzflfvq78c-libksba-1.3.5-armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf.drv' failed

Steps to reproduce

[void@fermat:~/pi]$ cat libksba.sh
#!/bin/sh
nix-build -I nixpkgs=/home/void/nixpkgs -E 'let t1 = import <nixpkgs> {}; in let pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { crossSystem = t1.lib.systems.examples.raspberryPi // { system = "armv6l-linux"; }; }; in pkgs.libksba'

I haven't tried this, but usually you just need to get gpg-error-config in your path. You can do this by adding the following line to libksba:

  nativeBuildInputs = [ libgpgerror.dev ];

Hello @matthewbauer ,

I first get the following.

9912 checking for gpg-error-config... /nix/store/xd6kz4ixgzklh6v11f5ma2pz39w3lcqf-libgpg-error-1.32-dev/bin/gpg-error-config
 9913 checking for GPG Error - version >= 1.8... yes (1.32)
 9914 configure: WARNING:
 9915 ***
 9916 *** The config script /nix/store/xd6kz4ixgzklh6v11f5ma2pz39w3lcqf-libgpg-error-1.32-dev/bin/gpg-error-config was
 9917 *** built for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and thus may not match the

 9919 *** You may want to use the configure option --with-gpg-error-prefix
 9920 *** to specify a matching config script or use $SYSROOT.
 9921 ***

Then it gets funnier:)

Huh I encountered this today as well. I believe I have a fix, will create a PR.
