Fix Linux build on Darwin

Browse source 
Without this patch running the following on MacOS:

  nix-build release.nix -A build.x86_64-linux

results in the following error during the configuration phase (note that Nix
should be configured with a x86_64-linux build machine):

This problem is that the `nix` dependency of hydra is selected from a nixpkgs
set configured with a default `system` parameter,
i.e. `builtin.currentSystem`. This means that the hydra derivation which is
build for and on Linux depends on the nix derivation build for Darwin.

The fix is to select nix from the nixpkgs set configured with a system specified
by the user.
