[bug#67675] gnu: dante: Enable preloading support.
 
Commit Message
  
  
Dante uses dlopen which doesn't work with libc.so but libc.so.6.
This fixes socksify, which is patched to skip invoking uname needlessly.
* gnu/packages/networking.scm (dante): Enable preloading support.
* gnu/packages/patches/dante-non-darwin.patch: New file.
References: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/68418#discussion_r343625853
Fixes: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63250

I added the patch to ‘gnu/local.mk’ and committed.
Thanks!
