install.sh calls koch, both of these are created by running build.sh.

Running koch builds the executable for installation which requires extra
compilations one critical part of which does not happen. So the built
system is fine but the installable version will not build.

The Nim developers seem disinterested in fixing things for early adopters,
which is sad.
