Lluís Batlle i Rossell c6b526495b Improving the crossStripping. A cross-glibc gets broken if stripped by the
native strip. So we now distinguish dontStrip and dontCrossStrip. I updated
the expressions for glibc-2.9 and glibc-2.11 accordingly.
I could get rid of the cross-glibc depending on the cross-gcc-stage-static.

Enabling nls in the final cross-gcc.

I still have problems on wint_t/wchar_t not working on cross build. Gettext
does not build.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 45886e474d On native builds:
- Disabling guile test, because one fails. I commented on that in the source.
On cross builds:
- Adding stripping
- Updating the glibc-2.11 expression to match the parameters of glibc-2.9,
  which I was updating more.
- Renaming from selfNativeBuildInput to selfBuildNativeInput, so this matches
  better the pattern buildNativeInputs.

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.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 9b977f5c60 Fixing many things related to the cross compilation in stdenvCross.
It still does not work, but I think I already get glibc cross compiled.
Next: gcc and g++, and set some setup script hooks on stdenvCross.

It took quite enough hours for this commit.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2aba922d30 My first attempt at getting cross compilers in nixpkgs.
My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter, 
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:

bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
    inherit fetchurl bison;
    stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};

Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.

I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.

I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...

I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.

This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.

I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
This comes from:
svn diff  ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

Eelco Dolstra a830968c53 * New bootstrap binaries (from r16022 in the trunk). Don't set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH since it breaks /bin/sh on non-NixOS platforms (and

Eelco Dolstra 40f01daa81 * A function to build Glibc's locale-archive separately from Glibc.

Eelco Dolstra 2a7ff23a8f * A patch to Glibc to allow the location of locale-archive to be
overriden at runtime (not enabled yet, but it works).  This will
  allow us to build Glibc with no or a minimal set of locales (which
  cuts 70 MB from the installed size of Glibc).  The locales that the
  user actually needs can then be built separately and enabled by
  setting the environment variable LOCALE_ARCHIVE.  For instance, on
  NixOS, we could set it to something like
  /var/run/current-system/locale-archive.  For setuid applications,
  the variable is ignored.

  This is especially useful on 64-bit systems, because there we tend
  to have *two* copies of locale-archive (namely in the 32-bit and
  64-bit builds of Glibc).  Having only one copy allows at least 70 MB
  to be cut from the NixOS installation CD.

Eelco Dolstra 821de7706a * Glibc 2.9. Got rid of 2.8 because we never used it.
* Kernel headers 2.6.27.  However, they don't work yet because they
  have a Perl dependency, which is annoying during the bootstrap.
