Compiling sysimage on NixOS

[arunoruto]

I want to use the LanguageServer.jl with helix and there is also a great guide on how to configure helix and the environment for the LSP. My problem lies in the command, for generating the environment with a compiled sysimage:

julia --startup-file=no --project=@helix-lsp -e 'import Pkg; Pkg.add(["LanguageServer", "PackageCompiler"]); Pkg.update();using PackageCompiler; create_sysimage(:LanguageServer, sysimage_path=dirname(Pkg.Types.Context().env.project_file) * "/languageserver.so")'

Here is the expression nicely written:

import Pkg
Pkg.add(["LanguageServer", "PackageCompiler"])
Pkg.update()
using PackageCompiler
create_sysimage(:LanguageServer, sysimage_path=dirname(Pkg.Types.Context().env.project_file) * "/languageserver.so")

This command fails with while executing the following command:

g++ -m64 -march=x86-64 -shared -L/nix/store/vm4nnv8m4ip7v8sg4bzacgig5k9726mj-julia-1.10.3/lib -L/nix/store/vm4nnv8m4ip7v8sg4bzacgig5k9726mj-julia-1.10.3/lib/julia -o /home/mar/.julia/environments/helix-lsp/languageserver.so -Wl,--whole-archive /tmp/jl_VEjejs54l0.o -Wl,--no-whole-archive -Wl,-rpath-link,/nix/store/vm4nnv8m4ip7v8sg4bzacgig5k9726mj-julia-1.10.3/lib -Wl,-rpath-link,/nix/store/vm4nnv8m4ip7v8sg4bzacgig5k9726mj-julia-1.10.3/lib/julia -ljulia -ljulia-internal -fPIC -Wl,-soname,languageserver.so '-Wl,-rpath,$ORIGIN:$ORIGIN/julia'

Executing the command on its own, results in /nix/store/adakqsdbifx7d688z4874ap17clarhfn-binutils-2.41/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory.

The crti.o file is a part of the glibc package, and I also included it into nix-ld, so it is available under $NIX_LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but it seems like the ld command in binutils isn't aware of it...

I know that this is highly specific to Nix and its ecosystem, but maybe someone has an idea how to solve this problem and set up the LSP server using a compiled sysimage!

P.S. I also tried prefixing the commands above with LD_LIBARAY_PATH=$NIX_LD_LIBARAY_PATH, but that didn't work eiterh...
