This involved:
* Installing miniperl as $dev/bin/perl
* Setting miniperl to take INC from
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}cross_perl/${version} as well as
lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}/${version}/${runtimeArch}, in that
order. miniperl taking from runtimeArch is not really correct, but
it works in some pure-perl cases (e.g. Config.pm) and can be
overridden with the cross_perl variant.
* Installing perl-cross's stubs into
$dev/lib/perl5/cross_perl/${version}
* Patching MakeMaker.pm to gracefully degrade (very slightly) if B.pm
can't be loaded, which it can't in cross-compilation.
* Passing the right build-time and runtime perls to Makefile.PL
The biggest benefit is that we no longer have to update the registry
package. This means that just about any cargo package can be built by
nix. No longer does `cargo update` need to be feared because it will
update to packages newer then what is available in nixpkgs.
Instead of fetching the cargo registry this bundles all the source code
into a "vendor/" folder.
This also uses the new --frozen and --locked flags which is nice.
Currently cargo-vendor only provides binaries for Linux and
macOS 64-bit. This can be solved by building it for the other
architectures and uploading it somewhere (like the NixOS cache).
This also has the downside that it requires a change to everyone's deps
hash. And if the old one is used because it was cached it will fail to
build as it will attempt to use the old version. For this reason the
attribute has been renamed to `cargoSha256`.

1. Call `nix-build` with `--no-out-link` to avoid cluttering the source dir.
2. Re-add `patchShebangs`, since `buildCommand` doesn't imply a patch phase. (It was my fault to remove this in the first place, sorry!)
This allows one to always override the call to `buildPythonPackage`.
In the following example we create an environment where we have the `blaze` package using an older version of `pandas`. We override first the Python interpreter and pass `packageOverrides` which contains the overrides for packages in
the package set.
```
with import <nixpkgs> {};
(let
python = let
packageOverrides = self: super: {
pandas = super.pandas.overridePythonPackage(old: rec {
version = "0.19.1";
name = "pandas-${version}";
src = super.fetchPypi {
pname = "pandas";
inherit version;
sha256 = "08blshqj9zj1wyjhhw3kl2vas75vhhicvv72flvf1z3jvapgw295";
};
});
};
in pkgs.python3.override {inherit packageOverrides;};
in python.withPackages(ps: [ps.blaze])).env
```
1. 'wrapper' has been renamed to 'wrappedRuby', so use this instead.
2. mkDerivation isn't called with a 'src' attribute, so skip the 'unpackPhase' to avoid an error.
3. Simplify the build command. 'mkdir' and 'patchShebangs' don't need to be called explicitly.
