checked whether absolute paths passed to gcc/ld refer to the store,
which is wrong: they can also refer to the build tree
(/tmp/nix-...).
* Less static composition in the construction of stdenv-nix-linux:
gcc-wrapper and generic are now passed in as arguments, rather then
referenced by relative path. This makes it easier to hack on a
specific stage of the bootstrap process (before, a change to, e.g.,
generic/setup.sh would cause all bootstrap stages to be redone).

- gcc/ld-wrappers have been factored out into a separate
derivation. This allows a working gcc to be installed in the user
environment. (Previously the Nix gcc didn't work because it
needed a whole bunch of flags to point to glibc.)
- Better modularity: packages can specify hooks into the setup
scripts. For instance, setup no longer knows about the
PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable; pkgconfig can set it up instead.
- gcc not longer depends on binutils. This simplifies the bootstrap
process.

a big problem, so I decided to require to user to get the
file and put it in some location in the file system. wget
doesn't seem to accept the file scheme however, so I had to
move the copying into the builder itself. The builder checks
the md5 hash of the downloaded file. Maybe having a separate
'fetchfile' would be useful to make a file in the outside
world pure. I tried to add this to build-support, but this
obviously did not work. I still committed it. Just remove it
if you think that it sucks.
