somehow `read -N 0` behavior changed in bash 5. `read -d ''` has identical behavior
the purpose of the function is to read stdin and exit 1 on a null byte (i.e. if stdin is the content of a binary)
(cherry picked from commit 5d0acf20f88b1820cb8b641cfc5a43e973122701)
The old stdenv adapters were subtly wrong in two ways:
- `overrideAttrs` leaked the original, unoverridden `mkDerivation`.
- `stdenv.override` would throw away any manually-set `mkDerivation`
from a stdenv reverting to the original.
Now, `mkDerivation` is controlled (nearly directly) via an argument, and
always correctly closes over the final ("self") stdenv. This means the
adapters can work entirely via `.override` without any manual `stdenv //
...`, and both those issues are fixed.
Note hashes are changed, because stdenvs no previously overridden like
`stdenvNoCC` and `crossLibcStdenv` now are. I had to add some
`dontDisableStatic = true` accordingly. The flip side however is that
since the overrides compose, we no longer need to override anything but
the default `stdenv` from which all the others are created.
When we "fix" libtool, we empty out its system library path to avoid
it discovering libraries in e.g. /usr when the sandbox is disabled.
But this also means that the checks libtool does to make sure it can
find the libraries its supposed to be linking to won't work. On Linux
and Darwin, this isn't a problem, because libtool doesn't actually
perform any checks, but it is on at least NetBSD and Cygwin[1].
So, we force libtool not to do these checks on any platform, bringing
the more exotic platforms into line with the existing behaviour on
Linux and Darwin.
Without this change, lots of library packages produce warnings like
this in their build output on the platforms with checks by default:
*** Warning: linker path does not have real file for library -lz.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have
*** because I did check the linker path looking for a file starting
*** with libz but no candidates were found. (...for regex pattern test)
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.
And dependent packages break because libtool doesn't link their
transitive dependencies. So making this change fixes _lots_ of
packages on those platforms.

At least for now. Such changes are risky (we have very many packages),
and apparently it needs more testing/review without blocking other
changes.
This reverts the whole range 4d0e3984918^..8752c327377,
except for one commit that got reverted in 6f239d7309 already.

It wouldn't bootstrap otherwise.
Unfortunately we still haven't managed to get the tarballs
on the proper URLs, but GitHub should be reliable enough
and surely almost noone will bootstrap themselves anyway.
