Issue description
Judging from the screenshot in #36187, @shlevy has already been successful in running some form of NixOS on RISC-V. I'd just like to know what the status of this is, as naively trying to build an ISO installer failed:

There seems to be some issue with Perl. I guess 306d5cd addressed this, but now it's broken again. I'm still pretty much a biginner to Nix(OS) and unfortunately have no idea how to fix it :( Maybe we could get NixOS on RISC-V running again? I don't know how much work it would be though, since #36187 got merged 2.5 years ago and a lot has happened since then.
