Close#14335.
Since 89036ef76a, when a package doesn't include a configure script,
the build complains with:
grep: : No such file or directory
grep: : No such file or directory
This prevents that.
Otherwise, when building glibc and other packages, the "strip" from
bootstrapTools is used, which doesn't recognise some tags produced by
the newer "ld" from binutils.
Fixes#12632.
I think it's better to quote this variable in general, because it is
common and even documented to pass space-separated commands in there.
The greps should just fail in that case and `if` won't proceed
which seems fine for such cases, and it's certainly better than
passing additional unintended parameters to grep
(which was happening all the time before).
Doing it in an openssl setup hook only works if packages have openssl
as a build input - it doesn't work if they're using a program linked
against openssl.
Commit 6d928ab684 changed this to not
preserve timestamps. However, that results in non-determinism; in
particular, it gives us a broken $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (especially for
everything using fetchFromGitHub). Builds affected by timestamps <
1980 should be fixed in some other way (e.g. changing the timestamp to
some fixed date > 1980).
This is used by some build tools to provide reproducible builds. See
https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for more info.
Later, we'll want to set this to a more intelligent value (such as the
most recent mtime of any source file).
So far if no configure script is found or no makefile,
the rest of the phase is skipped, *including* post-hooks.
I find that behavior unexpected/unintuitive.
Earlier version of this patch had problems due to me assuming
that $configureScript is always a simple path, but that turned out
to be false in many cases, e.g. perl.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Now development stuff is propagated from the first output,
and userEnvPkgs from the one with binaries.
Also don't move *.la files (yet). It causes problems, and they're small.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
- IMO using a temporary is not needed here (anymore),
- temporary at that location can cause a problem (in a specific case):
for example, when using the substituteAll function from nixpkgs
on a single file directly under /nix/store/ (or ./foo-file),
the stdenv's substitute tries to create a temporary directly under
/nix/store, which causes problems on chrooted darwin
(according to @copumpkin earlier today on IRC)
Getting the names of all environment variables is tricky. The previous
implementation easily got confused by multi-line variables. The new
one is more reliable but not still not perfect.
This works around a segfault in Bash 4.3, where the expression
"${!var}" (where var="-9") crashes under certain conditions.

Otherwise, stdenv won't have a reference to e.g. patchelf on Linux
(because it was passed in by mkDerivation). This causes the installer
tests to fail, because having "stdenv" in the installation CD closure
is not enough to pull in all stdenv packages.

Now it should contain *all* information from stdenv/setup.sh of
the original mutiple-output branch.
However, the configurability of the output paths is much greater.
This is needed for multiple-output derivations,
where it is desirable to propagate deps and setup-hooks into $dev instead of $out.
Also drop an unused simple function which will not even make sense.
Now gcc is just another build input, making it possible in the future
to have a stdenv that doesn't depend on a C compiler. This is very
useful on NixOS, since it would allow trivial builders like
writeTextFile to work without pulling in the C compiler.
