Description of changes

Closes #174113 (stale)

CC @Yeshey since you seem interested in box86

Heavily based on our box64 expression.

Second commit is maybe abit sketchy, so it's separate in case we don't want it.

Since box86 is only supported on 32-bit userland, its supported platforms can also only be 32-bit. But one may want to use it to run 32-bit x86 software on 64-bit non-x86 hardware as well. It's trivial to tell nix to cross-compile the package, but then the user would need to compile this on their own hardware since (AFAIU) the cache doesn't serve many 32-bit packages (especially on ARM I imagine?). This should work around this by mapping x86_64 -> i686 & aarch64 -> armv7l, which should hopefully let the cache be able to substitute this for ppl.

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • x86_64-linux (i686-linux cross)
    • aarch64-linux (armv7l-linux cross)
    • x86_64-darwin
    • aarch64-darwin
  • For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
    • sandbox = relaxed
    • sandbox = true
  • Tested, as applicable:
  • Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
  • Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • 24.11 Release Notes (or backporting 23.11 and 24.05 Release notes)
    • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
    • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
    • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.
