Reinstall package 'accelerate' with '-fnofib' to enable it.

Research direction
The issue is that the nofib test suite fails because the package was built without the 'nofib' flag. The error message suggests reinstalling with ' fnofib'. To fix, locate the nix expression for the accelerate package (likely default.nix or shell.nix) and ensure the build includes the flag ' fnofib'. The test failure occurs only in the nix build, so the solution is to modify the nix derivation. There is no additional discussion in the comments, so the fix is straightforward: enable the nofib flag in the nix configuration.
