autoPatchelfHook: Add dependencies for '.note.dlopen' to rpath #325126

Description of changes

This allows autoPatchelfHook to resolve .note.dlopen dependencies. The main motivation for this is #307068, where we intend to use this hook to automatically add the .note.dlopen dependencies of systemd 256 to its rpath. This is a little strange, as systemd is built from source and we haven't historically had to modify its rpath, but this seemed like the most obvious solution.

This also slightly changes the handling of libc. Instead of always ignoring libc dependencies, this attempts to retain libc in binaries' rpath if they had it originally.

Things done

  • Built on platform(s)
    • x86_64-linux
    • aarch64-linux
    • x86_64-darwin
    • aarch64-darwin
  • For non-Linux: Is sandboxing enabled in nix.conf? (See Nix manual)
    • sandbox = relaxed
    • sandbox = true
  • Tested, as applicable:
  • Tested compilation of all packages that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review rev HEAD". Note: all changes have to be committed, also see nixpkgs-review usage
  • Tested basic functionality of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • 24.11 Release Notes (or backporting 23.11 and 24.05 Release notes)
    • (Package updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is major or breaking
    • (Module updates) Added a release notes entry if the change is significant
    • (Module addition) Added a release notes entry if adding a new NixOS module
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

It's too bad there is no existing place to land a unit test for these changes.

I've run them successfully (along with the rest of the systemd 256.2 patch stack) on my actual machine, and can say that both in theory (such as I understand it) and in practice this change produces a working system.

also retain libc in rpath if it was there originally
