Description of changes

Checking for Darwin didn't take into account that we also use a
libunwind implementation without pkg-config on riscv32-linux. Fix by
checking for the presence of the pkg-config file required directly,
rather than by using platform as a proxy.

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux
    • 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.

Add a 👍 reaction to pull requests you find important.

This will allow packages like gstreamer that need to find libunwind
via pkg-config to check whether the libunwind they've been given has
the modules they expect.

Shouldn’t result in a behavioural change on the major platforms, so this seems fine to optimistically merge.

Nit: I find f x.a or b to be a really confusing parse, and would prefer parentheses around the relevant subexpression here. (Non‐blocking, will merge soon regardless of any response if you don’t beat me to it.)

I also find it confusing, but unless we can enforce parentheses treewide, I think it's better to teach it through exposure, rather than making it rare and therefore even more surprising.
