A little update: as I'm hopelessly stuck with autotools, I'm configuring
nix on Linux and then porting Linux source code to OpenBSD. Sadly I
can't do that in a single frustration-driven hackathon.

The problem I had with autotools is that autoconfigure of nix doesn't
recognize bzip2 library on non-Linux platforms which is kinda sad
because it's exactly what autoconfigure should do — configure the
project to work across POSIX systems :)
