Motivation for this change

libgpgerror has a binary that gets called during build to retrieve path information. during cross compilation a buildPackages version of this will point to the wrong libs, but the normal version cannot be executed on the build machine. therefore we set it explicitly in the configure script.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Fixes a cross-build issue I was also hitting. Thanks!

This reverts commit 2d44dc9.

Cross-compilation only works if we set --with-libgpg-error-prefix,
which is why that flag was there in the first place[1].  Unfortunately
this was not noted in the commit message that added it, which made it
difficult to discover…
