  libredirect is not available on static builds.

  Please fix your derivation to not depend on libredirect on static
  builds, using something like following:

    nativeBuildInputs =
      lib.optional (!stdenv.buildPlatform.isStatic) libredirect;

  and disable tests as necessary, although fixing tests to work without
  libredirect is even better.

  libredirect uses LD_PRELOAD feature of dynamic loader and does not
  work on static builds where dynamic loader is not used.
