Add a primop ‘concatLists’
This can serve as a generic efficient list builder.  For instance, the
function ‘catAttrs’ in Nixpkgs can be rewritten from

  attr: l: fold (s: l: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] ++ l else l) [] l

to

  attr: l: builtins.concatLists (map (s: if hasAttr attr s then [(getAttr attr s)] else []) l)
