[Nix-dev] Building v8 on Darwin

[Wout Mertens]

@copumpkin?

Is there anybody able to build v8 on Darwin (apart from the fact that you
need to turn on allowBroken because its platforms are set to linux)?

I'm getting

================================

So it seems that gyp is trying to run something that doesn't exist to do
the LIBTOOL-STATIC action.

And when rethinkdb tries to build it as part of its private build, it fails
due to the gcc libtools not supporting -static.

Thoughts?
