Hi @magnetophon, I was actually thinking about #164 the other day (possibly a duplicate?), and was wondering whether or not we had actually solved it (I guess not).

Anyway, looking at the latest build logs in your above link, I think the problem is something to do with this message on line 140:

[ 47%] Linking CXX static library libjuce_plugin_modules.a
/nix/store/v8imx1nvyz0hgvx9cbcmh6gp4ngw3ffj-binutils-2.35.1/bin/ar: CMakeFiles/juce_plugin_modules.dir/DISTRHO-JUCE/modules/juce_audio_utils/juce_audio_utils.cpp.o: plugin needed to handle lto object
/nix/store/v8imx1nvyz0hgvx9cbcmh6gp4ngw3ffj-binutils-2.35.1/bin/ranlib: libjuce_plugin_modules.a(juce_audio_utils.cpp.o): plugin needed to handle lto object

From looking at this Reddit post, one idea is to try using the lto tools from gcc instead of binutils. So maybe try setting these environment variables before building:

AR="/nix/store/4xs1xyj8728yvh9y5v6ji819kwgfy2fv-gcc-wrapper-10.3.0/bin/gcc-ar"
NM="/nix/store/4xs1xyj8728yvh9y5v6ji819kwgfy2fv-gcc-wrapper-10.3.0/bin/gcc-nm"
RANLIB="/nix/store/4xs1xyj8728yvh9y5v6ji819kwgfy2fv-gcc-wrapper-10.3.0/bin/gcc-ranlib:

Yes, that does the trick!

Thanks!
