### Option `system'
#
# This option specifies the canonical Nix system name of the current
# installation, such as `i686-linux' or `powerpc-darwin'. Nix can
# only build derivations whose `system' attribute equals the value
# specified here. In general, it never makes sense to modify this
# value from its default, since you can use it to `lie' about the
# platform you are building on (e.g., perform a Mac OS build on a
# Linux machine; the result would obviously be wrong). It only makes
# sense if the Nix binaries can run on multiple platforms, e.g.,
# `universal binaries' that run on `powerpc-darwin' and `i686-darwin'.
#
# It defaults to the canonical Nix system name detected by `configure'
# at build time.
#
# Example:
# system = i686-darwin
#system =
