0578dda8e1 doc: Describe CC Wrapper in more detail
The main motivation for this is to have something to google for LD=$CC.

Eventually, this should probably be moved to another section, but we
can deal with that later.

Packages get --host and --target by default, but can explicitly request
any subset to be passed as needed. See docs for more info.

nixpkgs manual: advise against overriding whole phases
I've seen that mistake at least a few times already, e.g.
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/26209#issuecomment-305925562
It might perhaps seem counter-intuitive if one doesn't know nixpkgs well.

76ea89aa78 nixpkgs doc: Talk about nativeBuildInputs and propgatedNativeBuildInputs
Do so in the stdenv section where the other two are discussed. This can be
done without brining up cross-compilation by talking about build-time vs
run-time.

stdenv/stripHash: print to stdout, not to variable
`stripHash` documentation states that it prints out the stripped name to
the stdout, but the function stored the value in `strippedName`
instead.

Basically all usages did something like
`$(stripHash $foo | echo $strippedName)` which is just braindamaged.
Fixed the implementation and all invocations.

e71a5cb878 stdenv: introduce baseHash() to replace stripHash()
stripHash uses a global variable to communicate it's computation
results, but it's not necessary. You can just pipe to stdout in a
subshell. A function mostly behaves like just another command.

baseHash() also introduces a suffix-stripping capability since it's
something the users of the function tend to use.

ec5b66eb4a Enable separate debug info
You can now pass

  separateDebugInfo = true;

to mkDerivation. This causes debug info to be separated from ELF
binaries and stored in the "debug" output. The advantage is that it
enables installing lean binaries, while still having the ability to
make sense of core dumps, etc.

Without this stdenv change it seems difficult to fix some glib's gsettings issues,
as the folders in question may (not) be created in installPhase.
