Statically-built Nix

Building

You can build this with Nix using:

nix-build

A statically built Nix binary will be available in ./result/bin/nix.

You can also build for a specific architecture by passing the cpu name like:

nix-build -A aarch64

The resulting binary will be available at ./result/bin/nix-aarch64. Note: only aarch64 and x86_64 are currently supported. Hopefully other arm and intel architectures can be added later.
