I forgot to check. nixpkgs-unstable will apparently get blocked by darwin's stdenv bootstrap tools:

#241692 (comment)

Apparently this ball might be was in my court. I have approved:

• freshBootstrapTools: Overlay the package set with the desired LLVM #267058

I will merge it as soon as CI passes (or somebody else can if they notice it first). That should hopefully get the Darwin stdenvBootstrapTools to build. Nothing depends on them (the dependencies are on the pinned hash, which is not being changed) -- so the channel should advance quite quickly after the PR merges.

Maybe it's notable that zpool-auto-expand-partitions broke due to rustc update? https://hydra.nixos.org/build/241313798

It was only tangentially related to the rustc update; the true culprit was actually the LLVM update (according to some searching). Fix is here: #268562.
