ab53df106f Get the 3.3.5 kernel headers to build in the stdenv bootstrap
We don't have xz early in the bootstrap, so use the bz2 tarball.  Also
add SHELL=bash to get it to build.

3694b0f892 glibc: setting --enable-kernel=2.6.35
It was taking 2.4.0 as default, therefore, not using syscalls over 2.4.0
We may see performance improvements (openat, ...)

b713e291a4 The jujuutils are meant for a recent kernel, more recent than our linuxHeaders.
Therefore I add recent linuxHeaders for it.

It's quite a hack to build it mixed with 2.6.35 headers and 3.3.5, but it builds at least.

4a1c721c01 Changing every reference from mips64-linux to mips64el-linux. That's
what the new nix thinks the fuloong is.

Anyone having the old nix should use a nixpkgs previous to this change to build
the new nix. And then, with the new nix, he can use any newer nixpkgs revision.

cfde88976b * Streamline the stdenv bootstrap and resulting closure by removing
some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
  Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

b1b7266aa3 After some testing with an ultrasparc cross-compiler:
Updating the cross-build expressions, adding some flexibility.
Updated the linux headers used cross building, as 2.6.28 had bugs on endianness in
sparc64.
There were, as usual some bugs in gcc. Maybe not many make a cross compiler to
ultrasparc.

For the record, I could build an ultrasparc kernel with this base nix:
import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/default.nix   # The root nixpkgs default.nix
{
    crossSystem = {
        config = "sparc64-unknown-linux";
        bigEndian = true;
        arch = "sparc64";
        float = "soft";
        withTLS = true;
        cpu = "ultrasparc";
    };

    config = pkgs: {
      packageOverrides = pkgs : {
        platform = {
            name = "sparc64";
            kernelHeadersBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
            kernelBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
            kernelArch = "sparc";
            kernelAutoModules = false;
            kernelTarget = "zImage";
            uboot = null;
        };
      };
    };
}

Although it did not boot directly in qemu-system-sparc64:
[sparc64] Kernel already loaded
Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000020
PC = 0x0000000000404000 NPC = 0x0000000000404004

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.

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.

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.

implements the host support for virtio devices in Linux >= 2.6.25

  virtio_net, which should be good for the build farm (which uses
  Samba/CIFS to mount the file system of the host).

84dd812f33 Finally, the new stdenv-linux.
* 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 ;-)

12ae5363ea * Remove trivial builders.
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
  execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
  `mkDerivation'.  These transformations were all done automatically,
  so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

5941f66f0e * The stdenv setup script now defines a generic builder that allows
builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,

    . $stdenv/setup
    genericBuild

  The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:

  - Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
    gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
  - Determines the source tree.
  - Applies patches specified by $patches.
  - Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
  - Runs `configure'.
  - Runs `make'.
  - Runs `make install'.
  - Strips debug information from static libraries.
  - Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
    `log2xml').

  There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
  builder.  See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.

* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
  generic builder.

* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.

* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv.  We shouldn't
  encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).

* Updated some packages.

* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).

* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
  processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
  a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
  variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).

* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
  accepted by `log2xml'.  Also, prior to writing the build command,
  Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
  built.  This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
  invocations in many Makefiles.  The actual build commands are marked
  `unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
  `log2html'.
