[Nix-dev] Using Nix with external (but 'pure') dependencies

[Luca Bruno]

Either with gcc or icc you still need to patchelf. Patchelf is common in
nix to be used, so don't be afraid. Try this path first which should be the
easiest. Making icc work well with nix may also need some patches etc. to
make it pure.
