This file was removed in 6f0b538044, but sufficient care was not taken
to remove all references to it. Without this change, trying to
rebuild nixos fails.
Set LD=$CC to fix this build error:

I realize that advanced users like to configure services with Nix
attrsets, but I don't think we should remove the option to use the
(configuration) language provided by upstream.
While we tell pip not to fetch (with the `--no-index` option),
`setuptools` can do so itself. In the past we used a `distutils.cfg`
with `allow-hosts = None` to prevent setuptools from fetching itself.
This was removed when we started building wheels in
2562f94de4e4fd2ddc677187fa2e2848L69.
The `dist-utils.cfg` code was still there, and adding it to
`buildInputs` is sufficient.
Tested with python.pkgs.passlib by removing the `checkInputs` / `nose`.
Otherwise if you try to listing all available packages, you will get a
hard error on platforms not supported by this package. Consequently the
tarball job was broken.
