Include files are typically in the libc package's `dev` output but previously `-isystem` was looking in `out`, resulting in my cross-compilation environment not finding its include files.
This includes a lot of fixes for cross-building to Windows and Mac OS X
and could possibly fix things even for non-cross-builds, like for
example OpenSSL on Windows.
The main reason for merging this in 14.04 already is that we already
have runInWindowsVM in master and it doesn't work until we actually
cross-build Cygwin's setup binary as the upstream version is a fast
moving target which gets _overwritten_ on every new release.

The gcc-wrapper doesn't wrap 'cpp'. This breaks some software (such as
Buildroot) because the 'cpp' they get come from the non-wrapped gcc
package which doesn't know about any standard include paths.
gcc-cross-wrapper is untested.
Both branches have quite a lot in common, so it's time for a merge and
do the cleanups with respect to both implementations and also generalize
both implementations as much as possible.
This also closes#1876.

This allows to pass a new attribute osxMinVersion to crossSystem, which
specifies the minimum Mac OS X version you want to be compatible to.

This is because autoconf is passing -print-prog-name=ld to the
cross-gcc, which in turn assumes a FHS compliant filesystem hierarchy
and searches ../../../../$crossConfig/bin/ld for the correct ld.
Of course, this won't work on Nix, hence we're explicitly passing the
correct LD program name.

At least for x86_64-w64-mingw32, it doesn't make sense to use the native
strip tool for stripping of symbols. To the contrary it results in
unusable archive files.

The 4.7 had some weird parameters added in crossAttrs; I've removed
them, but I don't understand where they come from.
This feature sounds crazy, but it is used in some configure scripts (e.g. xbmc).
This patch causes an almost complete rebuild of Nixpkgs.

forced)
I made vim, scummvm cross-build. I added prboom (that cross-builds).
Mplayer and elinks don't cross-build fine still, but are on the way.
The mplayer fails to build in a weird way; nix does not show either a gcc
error message or even the 'make' error message.

This trims down a lot the runtime dependency tree for cross-built packages.
I also remove the glibc dependency on the native bash.

This new busybox builds natively, and also cross-builds with uclibc.
I updated the uclibc config with a busybox defconfig requirement (something about RPC).
I made the gcc-cross-wrapper properly set the dynamic loader to programs.
After this, 'qemu-arm' can run the dynamically linked busybox cross built for armv5tel--linux-gnueabi.

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

- Disabling guile test, because one fails. I commented on that in the source.
On cross builds:
- Adding stripping
- Updating the glibc-2.11 expression to match the parameters of glibc-2.9,
which I was updating more.
- Renaming from selfNativeBuildInput to selfBuildNativeInput, so this matches
better the pattern buildNativeInputs.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=18550
- 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.

linking path), and with this achieved bash being cross-compilable.
I fixed the few expressions involved in bash building, so they have well stated
native and non-native inputs.
I also tried to cross-build guile, and with this I found a problem in the
actual cross-gcc: it calls the binutils ld, instead of the ld wrapper. This
way, the programs/shared_libraries don't get the proper -rpath.

derivation, the "buildInputs" in every stdenv mkDerivation don't map now
directly to the environment
variable "buildInputs" in the builder, but "buildNativeInputs". So, the inputs
build by the native compiler.
When cross compiling, they will map to the environment variable "buildInputs"
(yes, now the same name), which means does to be built with the cross compiler.
I think I improved the naming of variables a bit. There was a big mess,
specially in the stdenv adapter for cross building, and also in the default
builder script.
I also tried to add proper manager of propagatedInputBuilds, these being
propagated considering the host or build origin of that input build (so, at the
end, being those propagatedInputBuilds being propagated properly to the native
or the cross compiler.

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.

contains arbitrary information about a package, like this:
meta = {
homepage = "http://gcc.gnu.org/";
license = "GPL/LGPL";
description = "GNU Compiler Collection, 4.0.x";
};
The "meta" attribute is not passed to the actual derivation
operation, so it's not a dependency --- changes to "meta" attributes
don't trigger a recompilation.
Now we have to standardise some useful attributes ;-)

Even though you could just inherit binutils it is conceptually cleaner (I
