This looks like a defect in the build environment.

This is mixing two different libcs: the one from Nixpkgs, and the one
under /lib64.  This cannot work.  Perhaps $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or ld.so.conf
refers to /lib64?  (That’s probably a question for the Nix people.)

Alternately, you could try building with g++ from the other distro,
rather than from Nixpkgs.

Feel free to update it!
