Can you also try to run the test suite?

I did a few weeks ago, back then a few test seemed fundamentally broken to me, but that was probably my fault; I will try again

Unrelated to the issues i ran into before - outside of the nix-build environment - it tries to debug a few executeables as part of the tests and seems to be unable to open /proc/1129/maps, failing with No such file or directory.
I am not sure why this fails; whether it is because of sandboxing (probably) and whether one would like to give those privileges to build-process anyways.
I am honestly not sure on how to continue with that from this point, what do you think? @Sigmanificient
The tests will also fail in general when the builder has /proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope set to 2 - admin-only attach or 3 - no attach
Libdebug is "A Python library to debug binary executables, your own way." It is easlily scriptable common in the ctf-community and handy for crude binary-patching.

Libdebug is "A Python library to debug binary executables, your own way."
It is easlily scriptable, common in the CTF-community and also very handy for crude binary-patching.
The README has a great overview:
https://github.com/libdebug/libdebug
I had to replace the pythonImportsCheckPhase, which is really not optimal, because during import it tries to create a history-log in
$HOME/libdebug/.cachedirectory, which fails at/homeless-shelter.I could probably provide a patch to disable this feature during building (which doesn't sound like the way patches should work); I am not really sure about that.
This is my first time opening a PR in nixpkgs, so I added myself to the maintainers-list.nix.
I am not full sure on what exactly to do with the todo list down there, so any help with that would be appreciated.
