+# The Nix `gcc' derivation is not directly usable, since it doesn't
+# know where the C library and standard header files are.  Therefore
+# the compiler produced by that package cannot be installed directly
+# in a user environment and used from the command line.  This
+# derivation provides a wrapper that sets up the right environment
+# variables so that the compiler and the linker just "work".
