ccPath is only defined below, so this condition would never be true.
Worse, that's not quite true: what if somebody happend to have `/clang`
and no sandboxing. Boy, wouldn't that be annoying to debug!
Having multiple compilers in the build environment would result in an
invalid LD_DYLD_PATH like /usr/lib/dyld/usr/lib/dyld.
Since the path is hardcoded in XNU it can't be anything but
/usr/lib/dyld anyway.
This is an ugly temp hack for cross compilation, but now we have something better on the way.
Bind `infixSalt` as an environment variable as it will be used in it.
As described in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/18461, MacOS no
longer accepts dylibs which only reexport other dylibs, because their
symbol tables are empty. To get around this, we define an object file
with a single "private extern" symbol, which hopefully won't clobber
anything.
As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.

Besides deduplicating overlapping logic, clear warning messages were
added for:
- No glob/path for dynamic linker provided (use default glob)
- Glob did not expand to anything (don't append flag)
- glob expanded to multiple things (take first, like before)
This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
I think it's ok to export things which aren't wrapped. The cc-wrapper
can be thought of as responsible for all of binutils and the c
compiler, only wrapping those binaries which are necessary to
interposition---as opposed to all binaries it thinks are relevaant.
Conversely, adding the setup hook to the unwrapped compilers would be
unforunate as hooks are ugly hacks and the compilers themselves take
a long time to rebuild. Better to wholely separate "pure packages" from
hacks.
Eventually we should avoid this "pre-wrapping" and just update those
files in nixpkgs. This mass-rebuild change is best done along with
those needed to reduce the disparity between native and cross (i.e.
making native the "identity cross").
We now (on cross) require per-target flag interposition by putting the
triple in the names of the relevant environment variables, e.g:
export NIX_arm_unknown_linux_gnu_CFLAGS_COMPILE=...
The wrapper also has a `infixSalt` attribute (and "_" prefixed and
suffixed variants) to assist downstream packages.
Note how that the dashes are replaced to keep the identifier valid.
Using names like this allows us to keep the settings for different
compilers seperate.
I think it might be even better to use names like `NIX_{BUILD,HOST}...`
using the platform's role rather than the platform itself, but this
would be more work as the previous stages' tools would have to be re-
wrapped to take on their new role. I therefore didn't do this for now,
but that route should be thoroughly explored in the future.
This value is require to get c++ std include path for libclang based tools (vim plugins in my case).
I currently extract it this with this rather command:
```
eval echo $(nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'with (import <nixpkgs>) {}; clang.default_cxx_stdlib_compile')
```
it did not trigger any recompilation on my system.
The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
