The xxxFlagsArray variants were never meant to be used in nix code, at
least they can't be used properly without __structuredAttrs turned on.

If no spaces are passed in the argument the xxxFlagsArray can be
replaced as-is with the non-Array variant. When whitespace needs to be
passed, the derivation is additionally changed to enable
__structuredAttrs.
buildPecl overwrites the checkPhase like this:

  checkPhase = "NO_INTERACTON=yes make test";

Thus none of the checkXXX options set in nix are actually used.

Built every package on x86_64-linux. I intend to merge this tomorrow; keeping it open to hear any other commentary.
