John Ericson a7d89139ea top-level: stdenv.cross is now only defined with host != build
In practice, this is a strictly stronger condition than target != build
as we never have build = target != host. Really, the attribute should
be removed altogether, but for now we make it work for plain libraries,
which do not care about the target platform. In the few cases where the
compilers use this and actually care about the target platform, I'll
manually change them to use `targetPlatform` instead.

/* This file composes a single bootstrapping stage of the Nix Packages
collection. That is, it imports the functions that build the various
packages, and calls them with appropriate arguments. The result is a set of
all the packages in the Nix Packages collection for some particular platform
for some particular stage.
Default arguments are only provided for bootstrapping
arguments. Normal users should not import this directly but instead
import `pkgs/default.nix` or `default.nix`. */

## Platform parameters
##
## The "build" "host" "target" terminology below comes from GNU Autotools. See
## its documentation for more information on what those words mean. Note that
## each should always be defined, even when not cross compiling.
##
## For purposes of bootstrapping, think of each stage as a "sliding window"
## over a list of platforms. Specifically, the host platform of the previous
## stage becomes the build platform of the current one, and likewise the
## target platform of the previous stage becomes the host platform of the
## current one.
##
, # The platform on which packages are built. Consists of `system`, a
# string (e.g.,`i686-linux') identifying the most import attributes of the
# build platform, and `platform` a set of other details.
buildPlatform
, # The platform on which packages run.
hostPlatform
, # The platform which build tools (especially compilers) build for in this stage,
targetPlatform
## Other parameters
##
, # The package set used at build-time. If null, `buildPackages` will
# be defined internally as the final produced package set itself. This allows
# us to avoid expensive splicing.
buildPackages
, # The package set used in the next stage. If null, `__targetPackages` will be
# defined internally as the final produced package set itself, just like with
# `buildPackages` and for the same reasons.
#
# THIS IS A HACK for compilers that don't think critically about cross-
# compilation. Please do *not* use unless you really know what you are doing.
__targetPackages
, # The standard environment to use for building packages.
stdenv
, # This is used because stdenv replacement and the stdenvCross do benefit from
# the overridden configuration provided by the user, as opposed to the normal
# bootstrapping stdenvs.
allowCustomOverrides
, # Non-GNU/Linux OSes are currently "impure" platforms, with their libc
# outside of the store. Thus, GCC, GFortran, & co. must always look for files
# in standard system directories (/usr/include, etc.)
