- Hack to make it work with the latest host kernel headers
(2.6.18.1).
- Don't call depmod impurily, rather use oldskool modutils.
- modutils: use the final version, and use GCC 3.4 to compile it
(4.1 doesn't work).

* To prevent this kind of thing, check that all tools are statically
linked.
* Use findutils 4.2.27, 4.2.28 doesn't build with dietlibc.

Glibc. This is useful when building GCC.
* gcc-wrapper: the dynamic linker has a different name on x86_64 and
powerpc.
* gcc-wrapper: "glibc" -> "libc", because someday we might support
different C libraries.
* gcc: don't do a multilib build (e.g., 32-bit support on x86_64),
don't need it.
* gcc: merge in support for static builds.
* gcc: various simplifications in the compiler/linker flags, hope they
work.

* The statically linked bootstrap tools are now automatically
reproducable, just do:
$ nix-build ./make-bootstrap-tools.nix
The resulting binaries in result/in-nixpkgs go to
stdenv/linux/bootstrap/<platform>/, and the tarballs in
result/on-server go to
https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/tarballs/trunk/stdenv-linux/<platform>/<revision>/.
These are checked out on nix.cs.uu.nl under http://.../dist/tarballs.
* The statically linked libraries all use dietlibc now (except
patchelf and glibc), so they are much smaller. This is especially
nice for the tools in the Nixpkgs tree, since it makes Nixpkgs
tarballs smaller.
* Use Binutils 2.17 and GCC 4.1.1 for the bootstrap.
* The stdenv is now based on Glibc 2.5. I hope it works ;-)

dietlibc to produce small, statically linked binaries. This stdenv
also passes `-Os' to GCC automatically to optimise for size. It
also tries to prevent builders from linking against dynamic
libraries (which dietlibc doesn't support).
* A function `addAttrsToDerivation' that returns a modified stdenv
that always adds the specified attributes to the derivations that it
produces. Example (from curl):
curlDiet = import ../tools/networking/curl {
inherit fetchurl zlib;
stdenv = addAttrsToDerivation {
CFLAGS = "-DHAVE_INET_NTOA_R_2_ARGS=1";
} (useDietLibC stdenv);
};
(This is needed to get curl to build with dietlibc. Also note the
stacking of stdenv-modifying functions.)
* curl-diet: no longer necessary.
