        This is a special setup hook which helps in packaging proprietary software in that it automatically tries to find missing shared library dependencies of ELF files based on the given <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>.

This can be done by setting the <envar>dontAutoPatchelf</envar> environment variable to a non-empty value.
