I'm using 3.4 and ext3.  That error occurred because of these options:

# CONFIG_EXT3_FS is not set
CONFIG_EXT4_FS=y
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_SECURITY=y

I've been told that ext4 is broken.  So I disabled it and enabled ext3.

Then I invoked 'nix-build -A stdenv -K /home/nixpkgs-github' and it
succeeded.  (How can I check it?)

I'm going to build the bootstrap binaries.

Oh, I've just noticed that I'm still using Nix 1.1.  Should I update to
1.3 and try after that?  Does it matter?
