We shouldn't try compiling to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu from
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, because that tends to confuse things and is
not representative of actual cross compilation usage.
This commit adds a derivation `gcc-stageCompare` to
`pkgs/test/stdenv/default.nix`.
It is important to always build this derivation whenever building
`stdenv`! Because we are using a Nix-driven bootstrap instead of
gcc's built-in `--enable-bootstrap`, the `gcc` derivation no longer
performs the post-self-compilation sanity check. You must build
this derivation in order to perform that sanity check.
The major benefit of this new approach is that the sanity check
(which involves a third compilation of gcc) can be performed
*concurrently* with all packages that depend on `stdenv`, rather
than serially. Since `stdenv` has very little derivation-level
parallelism it cannot take advantage of more than one or perhaps two
builders. If you have three or more builders this commit will
reduce the time-to-rebuild-stdenv by around 20% (one of three gcc
rebuilds is removed from the critical path, and stdenv's build time
is dominated by roughly 3*gcc + 1*binutils + 1*bison-test-suite).

Set the executable bit before running the check phase, so that the check
phase can run the script to test its behaviour.
This aligns with what `concatTextFile` is doing.
Also use explicit `if` statements so that we don't silently ignore
`chmod` failures.
with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
Some packages are only marked broken on specific platforms, so we
filter those out as well.
Consequently, this might not raise an error if the attribute value
needs to point to a different pkgs attribute, but this is not something
we can detect. For now, we'll have to rely on users of such pkg-config
packages to report that kind of error.
There's really not much we can do about this here.
