I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
The cross file is added in the `mkDerivation`. It isn't nice putting
build tool-specific stuff here, but our current architecture gives us
little alternative.
These files never existed, so best to not leave the reference. If
someone want to step up to maintain this, that would be fine. I don’t
have the hardware to test these out. In addition, someone tried to use
the bootstrap-tools currently built by Hydra and found that they were
broken in some unclear way.
The linker scripts no longer contain store paths, so this does nothing. More
importantly, libpthread.so is not longer a linker script on ARM, so the patching
would corrupt it.
There's a generated header that got comment about the source header
from glibc.dev, which added unwanted runtime dependency. Tested:
nix build -f pkgs/top-level/release.nix stdenvBootstrapTools.{aarch64,i686,x86_64}-linux.test
Fixes#21629
Passing these extra linker flags removes both the semi-random uuid
included in most binaries as well as making the sdk version consistent
instead of based on the current os version.

The -macosx_version_min flag isn't strictly necessary since that's
already handled by MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
While looking at the graph of all the outputs in my personal binary
cache it became obvious that we have a lot of self references within the
package set. That isn't an isuse by itself. However it increases the
size of the binary cache for every (reproducible) build of a package
that carries references to itself. You can no longer deduplicate the
outputs since they are all unique. One of the ways to get rid of (a few)
references is to rewrite all the symlinks that are currently used to be
relative symlinks. Two build of something that didn't really change but
carries a self-reference can the be store as the same NAR file again.
I quickly hacked together this change to see if that would yield and
success. My bash scripting skills are probably not great but so far it
seem to somewhat work.
- Replaced python override from the final stdenv, instead we
propagate our bootstrap python to stage4 and override both
CF and xnu to use it.
- Removed CF argument from python interpreters, this is redundant
since it's not overidden anymore.
- Inherit CF from stage4, making it the same as the stdenv.
