The existing "nix-build" examples were failing:
error: cannot auto-call a function that has an argument without a default value (‘system’)
Thanks to @groxxda on irc for pointing out the fix!
Updated to completely remove unneeded path argument, suggested by @joachifm
Updated to remove other occurences of `all-packages.nix` from files as
suggested by @domenkozar

This fixes instantiation of pythonPackages.pytest that produces a
directory with less permissions during one of it's tests that leads to
a nix error like:
error: opening directory ‘/tmp/nix-build-python2.7-pytest-2.9.2.drv-0/pytest-of-user/pytest-0/testdir/test_cache_failure_warns0/.cache’: Permission denied

For example, you can now set
build-sandbox-paths = /dev/nvidiactl?
to specify that /dev/nvidiactl should only be mounted in the sandbox
if it exists in the host filesystem. This is useful e.g. for EC2
images that should support both CUDA and non-CUDA instances.

BASH_ENV causes all non-interactive shells called via eg. /etc/bashrc to
remove the rc-file before the main shell gets to run it. Completion
scripts will often do this. Fixes#976.
Adapted from and fixes#1034.
Docbook XSL got updated to version 1.79.1 in NixOS/nixpkgs@fb893a8 and
we're still referring to the hardcoded previous version.
So instead of just updating this to 1.79.1 we're going to use "current"
in the hope that this won't happen again.
I have tested this by building the manual under Nix(OS) but I haven't
tested this in a non-Nix environment, so I'm not sure whether this could
have implications.

Thus, -I / $NIX_PATH entries are now downloaded only when they are
needed for evaluation. An error to download an entry is a non-fatal
warning (just like non-existant paths).
This does change the semantics of builtins.nixPath, which now returns
the original, rather than resulting path. E.g., before we had
[ { path = "/nix/store/hgm3yxf1lrrwa3z14zpqaj5p9vs0qklk-nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]
but now
[ { path = "https://nixos.org/channels/nixos-16.03/nixexprs.tar.xz"; prefix = "nixpkgs"; } ... ]
Fixes#792.

Normally it's impossible to take a reference to the function passed to
callFunction, so some callers (e.g. ExprApp::eval) allocate that value
on the stack. For functors, a reference to the functor itself may be
kept, so we need to have it on the heap.
Fixes#1045

The `set -e` at the top of the script causes the installation to fail to
complete if the shell profile is not writeable. Checking file existence
only is not enough.
(cherry picked from commit ad0dc41899)
Previously files in the Nix store were owned by root or by nixbld,
depending on whether they were created by a substituter or by a
builder. This doesn't matter much, but causes spurious diffoscope
differences. So use root everywhere.
E.g.
$ nix-build pkgs/stdenv/linux/ -A stage1.pkgs.perl --check
nix-store: src/libstore/build.cc:1323: void nix::DerivationGoal::tryToBuild(): Assertion `buildMode != bmCheck || validPaths.size() == drv->outputs.size()' failed.
when perl.out exists but perl.man doesn't. The fix is to only check
the outputs that exist. Note that "nix-build -A stage1.pkgs.all
--check" will still give a (proper) error in this case.
This reverts commit 80ebd60e7c. The
reason why we cleared CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS was because otherwise we get a
default value of -O2, which interferes with the defaults set in the
Makefile. (E.g. "make OPTIMIZE=0" should not pass -O2.)
This was observed in the deb_debian7x86_64 build:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/29973215
Calling c_str() on a temporary should be fine because the temporary
shouldn't be destroyed until after the execl() call, but who knows...
