haskellPackages.mkDerivation: Remove Darwin dynamic libraries workaround #203963

Conversation

The workaround that this change deletes was initially contributed in #25537 to mitigate #22810 until a more permanent solution could be devised. That more permanent solution was eventually contributed in #27536, which now obviates the initial workaround, so this change removes it.

I tested this on aarch64-darwin (macOS Ventura 13.1) on our main internal project at work which has:

  • 200+ direct dependencies
  • 800+ transitive dependencies
  • enableSharedExecutables = true;

… and everything built successfully without this work-around.

It may be possible that this succeeded because of my macOS version; specifically, the work-around might still be necessary for older versions of macOS for some reason that I'm not aware of. So keep that in mind when evaluating this PR.

Things done
  • Built on platform(s)
    • aarch64-darwin

@matthewbauer explained out of band that useMacosReexportHack (the flag that enables #27536) is not enabled by default, so the superseding fix was actually not in effect. So it seems more likely that the reason the build succeeded was due to the newer macOS version I tested on
