Did egg2nix already fail before?
@GrahamcOfBorg build egg2nix

Make sure that it also works with clang / compilers with a different prefix.

Otherwise, LGTM.

Tested building chickenPackages_5.chicken as native build and cross-compiled to aarch64-multiplatform.

Tested both native version and cross version by running csi (using qemu-aarch64 for the cross case). I don't know the language and haven't actually tried any expressions, but the interpreter seems to at least run.

[Mindavi]

Does this work without the -gcc part?

[Artturin]

yes

[siraben]

@Mindavi you can try (define (fact n) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (fact (- n 1))))) (fact 6)
