[Comment 8 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2019-03-09 10:24:08 UTC]

Probably due to new dev-libs/boehm-gc-8.0.4 API change.

[Comment 9 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2019-03-09 12:18:18 UTC]

https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/commit/2ce94e20e884063240e70f21e706d73b8281f604 introduced a new libgccpp.so dependency on C++ programs.

Or not really new as it defines override allocators (it looks like C++ programs should already be linked to it).

[Comment 10 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) 2019-03-09 12:50:41 UTC]

Asked in https://github.com/ivmai/bdwgc/issues/268 as I'm not sure it's an intended change to require c++ allocator override explicitly.

Added simple workaround. Upstream fixed in a slightly different way: https://github.com/NixOS/nix/commit/c905d8b0a84877d3cab10d4a8b8ad81895a6500e
