Building yourself

Note that PublishAot assumes a lot of stuff about your environment, which is not necessarily true. The given flake should allow you to complete the publish except for a linking stage at the end: the publish will print out a failed command line, and you'll have to strip out some -o flags from it and run it manually. Then run dotnet publish again and it should succeed.
