This round is without the systemd CVE,
as we don't have binaries for that yet.
BTW, I just ignore darwin binaries these days,
as I'd have to wait for weeks for them.
The configure script can't detect whether C11 atomic intrinsics are available
when cross-compiling, so it links to libatomic_ops, which has to be propagated
to all dependencies. To avoid this, assume that the atomic intrinsics are
available.
Fixes#43015 for me and hopefully also similar issues.

TL;DR: no change for small-memory cases, less CPU for large-memory cases.
I assume almost all of the large memory usage is just the expression
evaluation and managed by the GC, so I used just `nix-env -q...` to test.
Old and new lines for each command follow. I tried to run each several
times, but the values were very stable (<1% difference on re-runs),
so only one line for each command-version pair is provided.

In anticipation of what I outline in #33599, I only simplify exactly those
`doCheck`s which are equal to `hostPlatform != buildPlatform`. I also stick a
comment next to them so I can grep for them later.
- 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.
