Each invocation of pkgs.extends adds 130MB of allocation to the hydra
evaluator. We are already struggling with the amount of memory nixpkgs
requires.
`pkgs.extend` is a useful escape-hatch, but should be not be used inside
of nixpkgs directly.
The way in which Nixpks builds Ruby gems means that certain operations
by bundler *will not work*, namely `bundle install --redownload`.
According to the source the _cache/_ directory should have been kept,
however it seems through revisions to the file it has been purged.
Here was the comment from the original commit that introduced
buildRubyGem:
```
# Note:
# We really do need to keep the $out/${ruby.gemPath}/cache.
# This is very important in order for many parts of RubyGems/Bundler to not blow up.
# See https://github.com/bundler/bundler/issues/3327
```
Why is the _cache_ directory needed?
Bundler and RubyGems uses the cache as a source of truth.
When bundler executes `bundler install --redownload`, any gems it
discovers in the _GEM_PATH_ it assums must have their _.gem_ file
present in the cache (unaware it was installed from Nix).
Rather than downloading the gem from RubyGems the bundler code forcibly
re-installs the gem from the cache directory instead and **fails** if it
does not exist.
I've opened https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/issues/4088 to see if
this failure should be soft and not so explicit; or fallback to fetching
the gem from scratch.
Without this change the following is the error:
```bash
> [nix-shell:~/code/nix/playground/jruby-bundler-rake]$ bundle install --force
[DEPRECATED] The `--force` option has been renamed to `--redownload`

I have a minimal project that demonstrates this issue at https://github.com/fzakaria/jruby-bundler-nix-failure
When overriding versions of build tools injected via hooks
`packageOverrides` was not taken into account and 2 incompatible
versions of the same package (`wheel` in this case) ended up in the
closure, causing the builds to fail.
This patch fixes compilation on aarch64 that broke somewhere between the
upgrade to the lateste rustc and the firefox 82 to 83 upgrade.
The patch has been submitted upstream and can probably be removed on the
next version bump.
