[Nix-dev] i686-darwin?

Never thought I'd see anyone do i686-darwin, since I think there were a total of maybe two ancient Mac Mini models that didn't support x86_64!

In principle it shouldn't be hard to do but I think you'll find that almost nothing has ever been tested on that system so there might be some odd gotchas.

I want to know if anyone here has tried anything like that and any thoughts on whether this is worth even trying.
