Well, I rsync'ed my exiting (Linux) store to the Mac and bootstrapped Nix on that machine (creating lots of new store paths in the process). Then I rsync'ed the resulting store back to the Linux box. At that point, my Linux/x86_64 binaries no longer worked, apparently because some very basic libraries in the store had been corrupted. I don't recall the paths that were involved specifically, though. It's possible that I made a mistake somewhere, i.e. that I corrupted the store by running rsync too early or by mixing up paths somehow.
