by reducing build-time closure size Nix is a little slower than the other CI builds, and I'm guessing it's mostly because of having to download a bunch of individual dev tools instead of pulling a single docker image. That's pretty unavoidable, but I'm going to see how much of a difference reducing the download size makes. Specifically: * use stdenvNoCC - we don't need a native compiler, we're only compiling using our special gamecube toolchain * use python3Minimal - we don't need any fancy python bells and whistles, we just need to run configure.py * declutter compilers - we don't need Wii or ProDG compilers, or any GC tools other than the specific versions we've selected * disable objdiff-gui - not needed by the CLI-only nix sandbox build, and in a shell, I can use a separate objdiff-gui from my PATH Altogether that should shave a couple hundred megs off the download.
