Fixes #1265
This draft PR starts implementing the solution drafted by @aherrmann in #1265 (comment) to make
--experimental_use_sandboxfs
work when using bindists (noNixOS
, nonix-shell
context). Let me record that the intended setup to test this PR is described here.It fixes the issue that executables - within
ghc
's installbin
directory - need content in the siblinglib
directory. Because this content is not tracked precisely right now, it is missing when executing within sandboxfs with--experimental_use_sandboxfs
(see bazel+sandboxfs usage).The first commit fixes failures of the form
../lib/path
being missing. I made a checkpoint here because with this commit,bazel test //tests/...
now fails in a different manner:And here's one specific failure when running
bazel test --experimental_use_sandboxfs --sandbox_debug //tests/cc_haskell_import/...
