With --localstatedir=3D/nix/var/nix (see store.scm and config.scm).

Remember: to bootstrap things here, you=E2=80=99re using Nixpkgs.  Here it=
=E2=80=99s
Nixpkgs=E2=80=99s glibc that uses kernel.org Linux headers.

At this point, you don=E2=80=99t want to build Hello.  ;-)  Instead, you sh=
ould
build the bootstrap binaries, as described in HACKING, that will allow
our distro to be self-contained.  Make sure to use =E2=80=98core-updates=E2=
=80=99 as a
starting point.

HTH,
Ludo=E2=80=99.
