It's a matter of adding the missing librar(y|ies) to bracketLibs. Do you want to try a PR?

Yes! I know how to do git fork/PR, but I don't know the process/syntax for including a missing library. Would you be able to teach me over a chat channel? I can sign up for a chat forum/slack/mattermost/Zulip/IRC. Btw Zulip is the best.

Due to the time difference, it might be a bit difficult to find a time where we are both online but it basically boils down to:

1. find the relevant missing libraries (ldd on the binary is the easiest to get an overview)
2. find the corresponding derivation name in nixpkgs (in case of libxdamage it's xorg.libXdamage)
3. add that to the bracketLibs list
4. build and see if it runs. If not, rinse and repeat until it does.
