[gambit-list] Trying to compile gambit head on NixOS

I tried to build gambit head on NixOS, and I have a weird error while
trying to compile gsi:

gcc -pthread -Wno-unused -Wno-write-strings -Wdisabled-optimization
-O6 -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-trapping-math -fno-math-errno
-fschedule-insns2 -fmodulo-sched -freschedule-modulo-scheduled-loops
-fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -fno-common -mpc64 -pthread -rdynamic
-I"../include" -o "gsi" _gsi.o _gsi_.o "../lib/libgambit.so" -lutil
-ldl -lm -L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto libgambitgsi.so
../lib/libgambit.so: undefined reference to `___PAIRMUTABLEP'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [makefile:178: gsi] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
'/tmp/nix-build-gambit-4.8.6.drv-0/gambit-2c34b63/gsi'
while trying to compile gsi

Looking at the code, it looks like
81ffcaedb133e9cc8936db3e4d9ec85626497414 has stopped defining
___PAIRMUTABLEP, but that macro is still used in gsc/_asm.c and
lib/_std.c that are included in libgambit.so, causing the failure.

The modified pkgs/development/compilers/gambit/default.nix is as below:

  src = fetchgit {
    url = "https://github.com/feeley/gambit.git";
    rev = "2c34b6328ce508cd0277c7dfddbab3f698b785c5";
