I've managed to overcome building the Nim compiler using nimbus-build-system. The issue I've encountered is that nwaku is using Nim 2.0.12 while for nim-codex it is 2.0.14. The part in the preBuild phase that had to be added is a bit different:

    pushd vendor/nimbus-build-system/vendor/Nim
    mkdir dist
    cp -r ${callPackage ./nimble.nix {}}    dist/nimble
    chmod 777 -R dist/nimble
    mkdir -p dist/nimble/dist
    cp -r ${callPackage ./checksums.nix {}} dist/checksums  # need both
    cp -r ${callPackage ./checksums.nix {}} dist/nimble/dist/checksums
    cp -r ${callPackage ./atlas.nix {}}     dist/atlas
    chmod 777 -R dist/atlas
    mkdir dist/atlas/dist
    cp -r ${callPackage ./sat.nix {}}       dist/nimble/dist/sat
    cp -r ${callPackage ./sat.nix {}}       dist/atlas/dist/sat
    cp -r ${callPackage ./csources.nix {}}  csources_v2
    chmod 777 -R dist/nimble csources_v2
    popd

In nimbus-build-system the directory vendor/Nim was missing rightly placed atlas and sat git repositories.

Seems a bit different than what we had when nimbus-eth2 was using Nim 2.0.12, but if it works it works.

It is possible to compile using system nim, tried it on this branch for both libwaku-android-arm64 and libwaku-android-amd64:

nix develop
make update
make libwaku-android-arm64 USE_SYSTEM_NIM=1

I'm still facing issue when building it:
