While building nix on Darwin, I encountered an error in the `installCheckPhase`:
```

nix> objc[70707]: +[__NSCFConstantString initialize] may have been in progress in another thread when fork() was called. We cannot safely call it or ignore it in the fork() child process. Crashing instead. Set a breakpoint on objc_initializeAfterForkError to debug.

```
I noticed that #278802 should have addressed this problem, but it didn't.
The solution for me was to replace `yes` with `YES`.
As it turns out, most of the references to `OBJC_DISABLE_INITIALIZE_FORK_SAFETY` use `YES` instead of `yes`.

The objective C code that parses the environment variable is defined in
the function `environ_init` in [here](
