One should do this when needed executables at run time. It is more
honest and cross-friendly than refering to binutils directly, if one
neeeds the default binary tools for the target platform, rather than
binutils in particular.
This reverts commit dfb0f25484, reversing
changes made to 7f8ff02437. These changes broke
the ghcWithPackages wrapper:
nix-shell -p "haskellPackages.ghcWithPackages (ps: [ps.mtl])" --run "ghc-pkg list mtl"
/nix/store/szz84j5k1dy3jdashis6ws28d8l8zxxb-ghc-8.0.2-with-packages/lib/ghc-8.0.2/package.conf.d
(no packages)
* pkgs: refactor needless quoting of homepage meta attribute
A lot of packages are needlessly quoting the homepage meta attribute
(about 1400, 22%), this commit refactors all of those instances.
* pkgs: Fixing some links that were wrongfully unquoted in the previous
commit
* Fixed some instances
If the flag enableIntegerSimple is true GHC will be build with the GPL-free but
slower integer-simple library instead of the faster but GPLed integer-gmp
library.
The attribute `pkgs.haskell.compiler.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"` provides a
GHC compiler build with `integer-simple`.
Similarly, the attribute `pkgs.haskell.packages.integer-simple."${ghcVersion}"`
provides a package set supporting `integer-simple`.

The $lib output refers to the terminfo database in $out, which is about
10x larger than the ncurses shared library. Splitting these outputs
saves a small amount of space for any derivations that use the terminfo
database but not the ncurses library, but we do not have evidence that
any such exist.
The new GHC version contains a patch [1] that passes linker and compiler flags
to GCC via response files rather than directly on the command-line. This is
supposed to be beneficial on Windows and other platforms that have trouble
dealing with long argument lists. On NixOS, however, this feature breaks the
flag handling provided by gcc-wrapper [2] and therefore causes the entire GHC
build to fail.
This issue has been reported upstream at [3]. It's not clear yet how to remedy
this problem, but until we've figured that out we just don't pass compiler flags
in response files on NixOS to fix https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/10752.
