In order to support stackprotector on musl32, this change import a
couple of patches from alpinelinux:
1. libssp_nonshared.a is built alongside musl's libc
2. the above library is automatically linked when compiling with gcc6
or gcc7
The `platform` field is pointless nesting: it's just stuff that happens
to be defined together, and that should be an implementation detail.
This instead makes `linux-kernel` and `gcc` top level fields in platform
configs. They join `rustc` there [all are optional], which was put there
and not in `platform` in anticipation of a change like this.
`linux-kernel.arch` in particular also becomes `linuxArch`, to match the
other `*Arch`es.
The next step after is this to combine the *specific* machines from
`lib.systems.platforms` with `lib.systems.examples`, keeping just the
"multiplatform" ones for defaulting.
When cross compiling to the same kernel / arch combination, it is safe
to use strip of libraries. This happens when cross-compiling musl
programs. dontStrip is now set in each gcc compiler instead of in
gcc/builder.sh.

pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
We can use use `stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic` instead, and move the
logic per package. The least opionated benefit of this is that it makes
it much easier to replace packages with modified ones, as there is no
longer any issue of overlay order.

This reverts commit c778945806.
I believe this is exactly what brings the staging branch into
the right shape after the last merge from master (through staging-next);
otherwise part of staging changes would be lost
(due to being already reachable from master but reverted).
It's supposed to be just bugfixes. I tested building some projects with
gcc10. Also gfortran10 still builds. I don't expect issues.
This causes basically no rebuilds, as we use 9 by default.
Turns out that libgccjit gets installed as a .so file, which the gcc
builder.sh didn't change: It only touched .dylib files; that means
that anything linking in libgccjit.so would receive an "Image not
found" error at load time.
With this change, we invoke `install_name_tool` on .so files too,
adjusting their dynamic linker ID, so that they too can be found.
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
In some cases, such as when building cross compilers, the binaries and
manpages contain the target architecture tuple, such as
`i686-w64-mingw32-g++.1`.
Ensure the symlink created to save space with the duplicated manpage
(`g++.1 -> gcc.1`) properly handles such cases and generates symlinks
such as `i686-w64-mingw32-g++.1 -> i686-w64-mingw32-gcc.1`.
Previously in such cases, a broken `gcc.1` link would be created
instead.
reasoning:
sjlj (short jump long jump) exception handling makes no sense on x86_64, it's forcably slowing programs down as it produces a constant overhead. On x86_64 we have SEH (Structured Exception Handling) and we should use that. On i686, we do not have SEH, and have to use sjlj with dwarf2. Hence it's now conditional on x86_32
