The build argument `use_system_libwayland_server` was set to `false`
since M107 [0]. This will cause `libwayland` to be built which does in
turn pull in `libffi` ("//build/config/linux/libffi") [1].
Alternatively, we should be able to fix the libffi dependency by setting
`use_system_libffi = true` (recently added, see [2]) and adding `libffi`
to the build inputs.

Setting `clang_base_path` [0] does skip [1] a clang version check [2]
that would fail in our case:

I also chose to disable the Qt support for now. The Qt support is
enabled by default on Linux [3] but we need to add the required
dependencies first to fix the build (and my current priority is to get a
basic build working for the security critical stable channel update):

The normal source download mirrors usually contain only the latest (or a
few latest) release. Building a derivation for an old version can
therefore sometimes fail, if the source tar file was removed from the
mirror in the meantime.
A mirror containing even the old TBB release files is added to fix this
issue.
