Thank you.  I've just committed it (it sounded intriguing, so I had to try it
out ;-).  Basically the only problem was that, as Marc pointed out,
builtins.thisSystem should be stdenv.system.  This matters for distributed
builds, like in our buildfarm: the system on which the Nix expression is
evaluated (builtins.thisSystem) may not be the same as the system on which the
package should be built.  For instance, you can do something like

$ nix-env -f /path/to/nixpkgs -i cryopid --argstr system x86_64-linux

on a i686-linux, which will forward the build to an x86_64-linux machine if you
have distributed builds configured correctly.

Also, I dropped the zlib dependency, it seems that only zlibStatic is needed.
