FYI, x86_64-linux and i686-linux nixpkgs bootstrap seed is not 25 bundled binaries, but 181 bytes, since https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/479322. at publication date this article would apply to non-x86 platforms like aarch64-linux, risvc64-linux, etc.

if you're concerned about this and not on x86, i encourage you to extend this to other platforms! i believe it's possible to generalize this to every linux platform musl itself supports, in time.
