Could you build this?
No Designing an alternative Nix package set with custom evaluation semantics, relocatable outputs, LLVM cross-compilation toolchains, and compiler-driver caching requires deep compiler and systems engineering expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires deep systems architecture across Nix language internals, LLVM toolchain mechanics, Nushell scripting, and compiler driver hook design. The difficult component is engineering ABI-compatible relocatable binaries and deterministic caching into clang/LLVM drivers while maintaining an entire multi-package software distribution.
