Most of the libraries listed in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the Jetbrains
IDEs are loaded indirectly using JNA in Java code, e.g.
myLibNotify = Native.load("libnotify.so.4", LibNotify.class); [1]
private val library = Native.load("secret-1", SecretLibrary::class.java) [2]
In this case the typical patching mechanism with Nix does not work
because JNA does the library lookup at runtime with its own mechanism.
However, there is one outlier: stdenv.cc.cc.lib is also added to the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libstdc++.so.6 because it is reportedly needed
for some "internals". It does not make sense to access libstdc++
from Java code so it feels like this one was added to work around
some native library or executable that should be patched instead
of using LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Unfortunately, having libstdc++ in LD_LIBRARY_PATH can also easily
cause ABI conflicts. This is because this variable is inherited into
terminals opened within the IDE. Using a Nix environment there with
different versions of libstdc++ easily causes errors such as
libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.29' not found
Most of the IDEs work just fine without having libstdc++ in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Since it's not really clear why it has to be in
there let's just drop it to avoid the ABI conflicts.
