I applied the patch Gene wrote here:

The tree after that commit is entirely based on gcc5. In order to do a test
with gcc4.9, I reverted:
https://github.com/triton/nixpkgs/commit/8ccc1f121f379f4d66ce0a66f581c49d25fb4e15#diff-d7222640d82ff920625e9311d05a0137


and then built two images, one entirely based on gcc4.9 and one entirely
based on gcc5:
https://pub.wak.io/nixos/nixos-minimal-new-kernel-gcc49-x86_64-linux.iso
https://pub.wak.io/nixos/nixos-minimal-new-kernel-gcc5-x86_64-linux.iso

The gcc4.9 one boots fine on all of my bios machines, but the gcc5 one does
not even in the hyperv and virtualbox testing i did.
