That's what I thought, but that file (libsystem_coreservices.dylib) is
nowhere in my Time Machine backup.  Moreover, I just tried to rebuild
nix from scratch and from source (i.e. by deleting /nix, reinstalling
via curl, and then doing nix-env --upgrade relative to a fresh git
checkout), and came out with the same error.

Also, maybe I misunderstood you - what do you mean by "reference"?  It
seems the reference is in gcc itself - the C file I'm compiling is
trivial:

[nix-shell:~/]$ gcc ~/temp/x.c
ld: file not found: /usr/lib/system/libsystem_coreservices.dylib for architecture x86_64
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

[nix-shell:~/]$ which gcc
/nix/store/65yrkjclp6g71j9x16vcglqdw62xbnx7-gcc-wrapper-4.8.3/bin/gcc

Any hints?
