Oh wow, I see it grew a lot since last time I checked.

I got interested in the cross compile section. I normally work on Mac and whenever I need to create a docker container I need to generate binaries for x86_64 linux.

I typically did it by creating another nixpkgs: instance like:

    linux_pkgs = import <nixpkgs> { system = "x86_64-linux"; };

This doesn't exactly do cross compilation and it actually requires linux builder to work (I have one running in docker). There's also option to specify cross compiling, there, but from my experience requires rebuilding pretty much everything from scratch :/

Using pkgCross seems appealing, but I can't find a linux x86_64 target there. The closest I can find is musl64 (which is great, but can't get everything to work with it).

Is it under perhaps another name that I don't recognize, and if it isn't, would be possible to add it, it would greatly help creating docker images on mac.
