This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.
The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

this is not an actual sync, but rather the manual taking the leading role.
right now it does not make sense to actually change `patch-shebangs.sh`
as that would cause a rebuild of the entire universe.
we should figure out how to keep them aligned with minimal effort both
in terms of maintenance as well as navigation for readers.
This commit describes the "->" notation for dependency types in
greater detail, and uses g++ to provide examples of all six cases
(although the host->target and target->target examples are a bit
artificial).
It also adds three more rows to the table for the "->*" dependency
types for non-compiler-like packages; these dependency types were
already present in the documentation but the "*" was not really
explained.
Lastly, this commit adds a hyperlink to the table from the place where
it is mentioned in the "specifying dependencies" chapter.
This confused the hell out of me, as I didn't spot the
> The following flags are disabled by default ...
when reading about `pie`, because that sentence was hidden in the
previous hardening flag's section.
Also explain that `pie` hardening is on by default on musl.
With removeUnknownConfigureFlags, it's impossible to express a package
that needs --enable-static, but will not accept --disable-shared,
without overriding the result of removeUnknownConfigureFlags _again_
in pkgs/top-level/static.nix.
It would be much better (and more in line with the rest of Nixpkgs) if
we encoded changes needed for static builds in package definitions
themselves, rather than in an ever-expanding list in static.nix. This
is especially true when doing it in static.nix is going to require
multiple overrides to express what could be expressed with stdenv
options.
So as a step in that direction, and to fix the problem described
above, here I replace removeUnknownConfigureFlags with a new stdenv
option, dontAddStaticConfigureFlags. With this mechanism, a package
that needs one but not both of the flags just needs to set
dontAddStaticConfigureFlags and then set up configureFlags manually
based on stdenv.hostPlatform.isStatic.
We are still using Pandoc’s Markdown parser, which differs from CommonMark spec slightly.
Notably:
- Line breaks in lists behave differently.
- Admonitions do not support the simpler syntax https://github.com/jgm/commonmark-hs/issues/75
- The auto_identifiers uses a different algorithm – I made the previous ones explicit.
- Languages (classes) of code blocks cannot contain whitespace so we have to use “pycon” alias instead of Python “console” as GitHub’s linguist
While at it, I also fixed the following issues:
- ShellSesssion was used
- Removed some pointless docbook tags.
Added the following ids to avoid possible id conflicts from ids auto-generated from titles:
- setup-hook-perl
- setup-hook-python
- setup-hook-pkg-config
- setup-hook-automake
- setup-hook-autoconf
- setup-hook-libxml2
- setup-hook-gdk-pixbuf
