This is a bit of a distraction from the main point of this e-mail, but
nss-certs is architecture-independent, so you could add '#:target
#false' to 'arguments'.  Then the native compilation code is run
instead of the cross-compilation code, and the same derivation as for
native compilation is reused, saving a little build time (and disk
space, in case nars are generated or deduplication is disabled).

Greetings,
Maxime.
