A .la file specifies linker flags to link with the library it describes. Its
"dependency_libs" field lists the libraries that this library depends upon.
This list often contains "-l" flags without corresponding "-L" flags. Many
packages in Nixpkgs deal with this in one of these ways:
- delete .la file [1]
- clear dependency_libs [2]
- add -L flags to dependency_libs [3]
- propagate dependencies [4]
Sometimes "dependency_libs" contain wrong "-L" flags pointing to the "dev"
output with headers rather than to the main output with libraries. They have to
be edited or deleted to reduce closure size [5].
Deleting .la files is often but not always safe [6]. Atomatically deleting as
many of them as possible is complex [7]. Deleting .la files that describe
shared rather than static libraries is probably safe; but clearing their
"dependency_libs" field achieves the same effect with less potential for
unintended consequences. This is the approach that may be enabled for all
Nixpkgs.

storePropName will be jsseDefaultStore if the property isn't present, and
jsseDefaultStore is never null, so the branch to use the environment variable
would never be taken.
The env var is supposed to be preferred to jssecacerts, so we can use it as
the default in the call to System.getProperty, and use the null check to fall
back on jsseDefaultStore instead.
Additionally:
+ split native and other build inputs
+ alphabetically order dependencies
+ explicitly disable libjson support (the configure script looks for it in
/usr, /usr/local, and /opt/local)
This swaps the fetchgit call to be more consistent with the majority of other
NixPkgs fetchgit calls. Moreover, almost every network will be able to do HTTPS,
while some enterprise networks may limit external SSH access.
The fftw download page provides both an HTTP and FTP endpoint for downloading release tarballs:
http://fftw.org/download.html
Since some users may have difficulty fetching via FTP through corporate
firewalls, we should provide the option to get it over HTTP as well.
Another broken URL related to: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/39927
Note that the patch file has legitimately changed, because ~4 months ago Debian
replaced their CVE security fix with a newer version that fixes some additional
bugs: d6fd3b3734
Without explicitly specifying that libsasl2 is part of the build, and
without explicitly making it part of pylibmc's linker flags for its
CPython extension, the cpython code enters a build state error where it
instead attempts to blindly `dlopen("libsasl2.so")` out of
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH; this fails as it can't be found in the store,
obviously.
The bigger problem with this is that it otherwise makes pylibmc
unusable, as it will try to immediately load libsasl2 at startup. This
means even using 'import pylibmc' at all will cause a failure.
Instead, add cyrus_sasl into the build closure of the library, and pass
an argument to the setup.py script to properly pass -lsasl2 to the C
extension. This causes a link to properly be formed.
