Lluís Batlle i Rossell 585ba8c27f Big fixes in the cross build:
- Before this changes, cflags and ldflags for the native and the cross compiler
  got mixed. Not all the gcc-wrapper/gcc-cross-wrapper variables are
  independant now, but enough, I think.
- Fixed the generic stdenv expression, which did a big mess on buildInputs and
  buildNativeInputs. Now it distinguishes when there is a stdenvCross or not.
  Maybe we should have a single stdenv and forget about the stdenvCross
  adapter - this could end in a stdenv a bit complex, but simpler than the
  generic stdenv + adapter.
- Added basic support in pkgconfig for cross-builds: a single PKG_CONFIG_PATH
  now works for both the cross and the native compilers, but I think this
  should work well for most cases I can think of.
- I tried to fix the guile expression to cross-biuld; guile is built, but not
  its manual, so the derivation still fails. Guile requires patching to
  cross-build, as far as I understnad.
- Made the glibcCross build to be done through the usage of a
  gcc-cross-wrapper over the gcc-cross-stage-static, instead of using it
  directly.
- Trying to make physfs (a neverball dependency) cross build.
- Updated the gcc expression to support building a cross compiler without getting
  derivation variables mixed with those of the stdenvCross.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell a263cb814e Fixed some details on cross compilation. Among others:
- Stating better the guile dependencies (native/host) for guile to build
- Fixing cross-linking, through --rpath-link (ld(1) explains well about it
- Made gcc call the linker and the assembler through the gcc wrapper instead of
  directly. I thought this was the source of missing -rpath's, but the source
  of the problem ended up being the lack of --rpath-link. But I think the
  native gcc calls the wrapped ld and as, so let's do the same cross
  compiling.
- Removed the binutilsCross from the glibc expressions. Now they are built
  using the gcc-cross-wrapper, and they were built with the direct gcc and
  binutils before this change.
- I think patchelf and strip don't break the cross-compiled binaries, so I
  reallow them on cross compilation.
- I disable the checkPhase on cross compilation. This made gmp and libtool
  fail when cross compiled, iirc.

Armijn Hemel 508cd3a3e8 add a wrapper for cross compilers, which makes the correct link to the cross compiler. Only works for "gcc", haven't tried for g++ and the others
