Binutils nowadays contains ld.gold, which depends on libstdc++. So it
needs to be built with the new GCC rather than the one from
bootstrap-tools.
Issue #1469.
Due to xz being override in the last stdenv and also in the previous, the
nixpkgs xz ended up being built by bootstrap-tools, and thus depending on it
through libgcc_so.so.1. That ends up making 'nix' with a runtime
dependency on bootstrap-tools.
Now that we have a way to alter /bin/sh in chroots on non-NixOS Linux
platforms, it may be useful to have access to stdenv.shell package and to
static bash contained in bootstrap tools. So make them accessible via stdenv
attribute set.
Conflicts:
pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/4.6/default.nix
pkgs/development/compilers/gcc/4.7/default.nix
The 4.7 had some weird parameters added in crossAttrs; I've removed
them, but I don't understand where they come from.
This allows various applications. It allows users to set global
optimisation flags, e.g.
stdenv.userHook = ''NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE+=" -funroll-loops"'';
But the impetus is as an alternative to issue #229, allowing impure
stdenv setup for people who want to use distcc:
stdenv.userHook = "source /my/impure/setup-script.sh";
This is probably a bad idea, but at least now it's a bad idea in
people's configuration and not in Nixpkgs. :-)
what the new nix thinks the fuloong is.
Anyone having the old nix should use a nixpkgs previous to this change to build
the new nix. And then, with the new nix, he can use any newer nixpkgs revision.

some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

bootstrap-tools, because zlib was there and binutils were not having an
explicit buildInput for zlib. Due to that, we ended up with stdenv
(gcc-wrapper) depending on bootstrap-tools as runtime dependency.

had a little svn mess in the working directory that ended up in a not working
stdenvLinux.
This time I even chose better names for the attributes, so they match better
the comments.

I had done an attempt recently, unsuccesful, which ended in a recent revert.
This change works.
I even updated the comments in the file.

What I did results in segfaults in built binaries.

This should allow keeping the i686-linux boostrap-tools.
I updated some days ago the x86_64-linux bootstrap-tools, but that update is
not needed anymore. We can revert that boostrap-tools update if anyone wants.
Pro:
- new gcc building gcc and glibc.
Contra:
- maybe some old systems (patched red had kernels come to mind) break with that update?

Instead, use the generic package override mechanism to use packages
from earlier bootstrap phases.
* Don't rely on the existence of attributes such as
`stdenv.coreutils'.
