If a build expressions has set "enableParallelBuilding = true", then the
generic builder may utilize more than one CPU core to build that particular
expression. This feature works out of the box for GNU Make. Expressions that
use other build drivers like Boost.Jam or SCons have to specify appropriate
flags such as "-j${NIX_BUILD_CORES}" themselves.

ghdl-wrapper.
I made the gcc-4.3.4 expression allow the 'vhdl' language through ghdl.
The ghdl developer recommends this gcc version; maybe it would work with
gcc-4.4. If not this ghdl version, maybe next versions.

Dealt with the gcc 4.4 expression for it to work well for a native and a cross
compiler, adding a pair of patches to get the job done without much side
effects. One (libtool problems on -B) comes from the gcc 4.3 expression, while
the other fixes a bug already fixed in gcc 4.4.3.

native strip. So we now distinguish dontStrip and dontCrossStrip. I updated
the expressions for glibc-2.9 and glibc-2.11 accordingly.
I could get rid of the cross-glibc depending on the cross-gcc-stage-static.
Enabling nls in the final cross-gcc.
I still have problems on wint_t/wchar_t not working on cross build. Gettext
does not 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.

- Stating better the guile dependencies (native/host) for guile to build
- Fixing cross-linking, through --rpath-link (ld(1) explains well about it
- Made gcc call the linker and the assembler through the gcc wrapper instead of
directly. I thought this was the source of missing -rpath's, but the source
of the problem ended up being the lack of --rpath-link. But I think the
native gcc calls the wrapped ld and as, so let's do the same cross
compiling.
- Removed the binutilsCross from the glibc expressions. Now they are built
using the gcc-cross-wrapper, and they were built with the direct gcc and
binutils before this change.
- I think patchelf and strip don't break the cross-compiled binaries, so I
reallow them on cross compilation.
- I disable the checkPhase on cross compilation. This made gmp and libtool
fail when cross compiled, iirc.

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.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18351
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.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.

builders. These are redundant now.
* Inlined some trivial builders.
* Removed a few explicit setup-hook creations. This is done
automatically now if setupHook is set.
* Deleted the initscripts package. NixOS doesn't use it anymore.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=15276
* glibc_multi: a wrapper that combines the 32-bit and 64-bit Glibcs.
This is necessary so that 64-bit GCC can find gnu/stubs-32.h and the
32-bit Glibc libraries.
To build glibc_multi on x86_64-linux, you still need either the
i686-linux Glibc derivation from a channel, or to have configured
Nix with support for forwarding the build to a i686-linux machine.
In the future this may become unnecessary by providing a prebuilt
binary of 32-bit Glibc somewhere (like the binaries used in the
stdenvLinux bootstrap).
* With glibc_multi, it becomes possible to build gcc with multilib
support (i.e. it builds 32-bit and 64-bit versions of libgcc,
libstdc++, etc.).
