Nexoniarz 0f7bceeb50 shell.nix: no hardening flags
Nix's compiler wrapper adds -fPIC and friends to every compile. The
kernel is freestanding at fixed addresses, and clang refuses -fPIC for
the UEFI loader's PE target outright, so a plain make in nix-shell
stopped at BOOTX64.EFI.

#
# Why this exists: the UEFI loader is the one part that genuinely cannot be
# built without clang and lld. `make` falls back to the GNU toolchain for the
# kernel, so a machine with only gcc gets a kernel that builds and a loader that
# silently stays whatever it was -- which is exactly the failure that left a
# stale boot splash on this tree for half a day.
#
# Pinned to whatever nixpkgs the host is on rather than to a flake input, on
# purpose: this is a convenience for one developer's machine, not a
# reproducibility claim. If it ever needs to be the latter it wants a flake.

# Off, all of it. Nix's compiler wrapper adds -fPIC, -fstack-protector,
# -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE and friends to every compile, which is right for Linux
# programs and wrong for everything here: the kernel is freestanding and
# linked at fixed addresses, and the UEFI loader targets PE/COFF, where clang
# refuses -fPIC outright ("unsupported option '-fPIC' for target
# 'x86_64-unknown-windows-msvc'") and `make` stops at BOOTX64.EFI.
