The check for including the C++ standard library headers was nested inside the
check for linking with the C++ standard library. As a result, the `-nostdlib`
flag incorrectly implied `-nostdinc++`, which made it virtually impossible to
partially link C++ objects.
Fixes build failures with clang:
clang-7: error: unknown argument: '-fPIC -target'
clang-7: error: no such file or directory: '@<(printf %qn -O2'
clang-7: error: no such file or directory: 'x86_64-apple-darwin'

Currently we set dynamic-linker unconditionally. This breaks
however some static binaries i.e. rust binaries linked against musl.
There is no reason we should set an elf interpreter for static binaries
hence this is skipped if `-static` or `-static-pie` is either passed to
our cc or ld wrapper.
I hate the thing too even though I made it, and rather just get rid of
it. But we can't do that yet. In the meantime, this brings us more
inline with autoconf and will make it slightly easier for me to write a
pkg-config wrapper, which we need.
It is useful to make these dynamic and not bake them into gcc. This
means we don’t have to rebuild gcc to change these values. Instead, we
will pass cflags to gcc based on platform values. This was already
done hackily for android gcc (which is multi-target), but not for our
own gccs which are single target.
To accomplish this, we need to add a few things:
- add ‘arch’ to cpu
- add NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE_BEFORE flag (goes before args)
- set -march everywhere
- set mcpu, mfpu, mmode, and mtune based on targetPlatform.gcc flags
cc-wrapper: only set -march when it is in the cpu type
Some architectures don’t have a good mapping of -march. For instance
POWER architecture doesn’t support the -march flag at all!

Factor a bintools (i.e. binutils / cctools) wrapper out of cc-wrapper. While
only LD is wrapped, the setup hook defines environment variables on behalf of
other utilites.
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
Now is an opportune time to do this, as the infixSalt conversion in
`add-flags.sh` ensures that all the relevant `NIX_*` vars will be
defined even if empty.
This is basically a sed job, in preparation of the next commit. The
rules are more or less:
- s"NIX_(.._WRAPPER_)?([a-zA-Z0-9@]*)"NIX_\1@infixSalt@_\2"g
- except for non-cc-wrapper-specific vars like `NIX_DEBUG`
