Since the script running is a failure condition, we should fail the
build properly, not leaving it up to the missing output to determine
that the build went wrong. This should partly address #38952 — nix
build will print out the build log on non-zero exits.
This continues #23374, which always kept around both attributes, by
always including both propagated files: `propgated-native-build-inputs`
and `propagated-build-inputs`. `nativePkgs` and `crossPkgs` are still
defined as before, however, so this change should only barely
observable.
This is an incremental step to fully keeping the dependencies separate
in all cases.
This makes those files a bit easier to read. Also, for what it's worth,
it brings us one baby step closer to handling spaces in store paths.
Also, I optimized handling of many transitive deps with read. Probably,
not very beneficial, but nice to enforce the pkg-per-line structure.
Doing so let me find much dubious code and fix it.
Two misc notes:
- `propagated-user-env-packages` also needed to be adjusted as
sometimes it is copied to/from the propagated input files.
- `local fd` should ensure that file descriptors aren't clobbered
during recursion.
This ensures that most "trivial" derivations used to build NixOS
configurations no longer depend on GCC. For commands that do invoke
gcc, there is runCommandCC.
Close#15803. This avoids the error:
while setting up the build environment: executing
‘/nix/store/7sb42axk5lrxqz45nldrb2pchlys14s1-bash-4.3-p42/bin/bash’:
Argument list too long
Note: I wanted to make it optional based on buildCommand length,
but that seems pointless as I'm sure it's less performant.

Unfortunately, yesterday Nix got reverted to a version with broken
passAsFile implementation on some Hydra machines, so we have corrupted
files again. (E.g. http://hydra.nixos.org/build/29777678.) Forcing
another gratuitous rebuild to get rid of them.
