top-level: Introduce `buildPackages` for resolving build-time deps [N.B., this package also applies to the commits that follow it in the same PR.] In most cases, buildPackages = pkgs so things work just as before. For cross compiling, however, buildPackages is resolved as the previous bootstrapping stage. This allows us to avoid the mkDerivation hacks cross compiling currently uses today. To avoid a massive refactor, callPackage will splice together both package sets. Again to avoid churn, it uses the old `nativeDrv` vs `crossDrv` to do so. So now, whether cross compiling or not, packages with get a `nativeDrv` and `crossDrv`---in the non-cross-compiling case they are simply the same derivation. This is good because it reduces the divergence between the cross and non-cross dataflow. See `pkgs/top-level/splice.nix` for a comment along the lines of the preceding paragraph, and the code that does this splicing. Also, `forceNativeDrv` is replaced with `forceNativePackages`. The latter resolves `pkgs` unless the host platform is different from the build platform, in which case it resolves to `buildPackages`. Note that the target platform is not important here---it will not prevent `forcedNativePackages` from resolving to `pkgs`. -------- Temporarily, we make preserve some dubious decisions in the name of preserving hashes: Most importantly, we don't distinguish between "host" and "target" in the autoconf sense. This leads to the proliferation of *Cross derivations currently used. What we ought to is resolve native deps of the cross "build packages" (build = host != target) package set against the "vanilla packages" (build = host = target) package set. Instead, "build packages" uses itself, with (informally) target != build in all cases. This is wrong because it violates the "sliding window" principle of bootstrapping stages that shifting the platform triple of one stage to the left coincides with the next stage's platform triple. Only because we don't explicitly distinguish between "host" and "target" does it appear that the "sliding window" principle is preserved--indeed it is over the reductionary "platform double" of just "build" and "host/target". Additionally, we build libc, libgcc, etc in the same stage as the compilers themselves, which is wrong because they are used at runtime, not build time. Fixing this is somewhat subtle, and the solution and problem will be better explained in the commit that does fix it. Commits after this will solve both these issues, at the expense of breaking cross hashes. Native hashes won't be broken, thankfully. -------- Did the temporary ugliness pan out? Of the packages that currently build in `release-cross.nix`, the only ones that have their hash changed are `*.gcc.crossDrv` and `bootstrapTools.*.coreutilsMinimal`. In both cases I think it doesn't matter. 1. GCC when doing a `build = host = target = foreign` build (maximally cross), still defines environment variables like `CPATH`[1] with packages. This seems assuredly wrong because whether gcc dynamically links those, or the programs built by gcc dynamically link those---I have no idea which case is reality---they should be foreign. Therefore, in all likelihood, I just made the gcc less broken. 2. Coreutils (ab)used the old cross-compiling infrastructure to depend on a native version of itself. When coreutils was overwritten to be built with fewer features, the native version it used would also be overwritten because the binding was tight. Now it uses the much looser `BuildPackages.coreutils` which is just fine as a richer build dep doesn't cause any problems and avoids a rebuild. So, in conclusion I'd say the conservatism payed off. Onward to actually raking the muck in the next PR! [1]: https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Environment-Variables.html

Clean up cross bootstrapping For a long time, we've had `crossLibcStdenv`, `*Cross` libc attributes, and `*bsdCross` pre-libc package sets. This was always bad because having "cross" things is "not declarative": the naming doesn't reflect what packages *need* but rather how we *provide* something. This is ugly, and creates needless friction between cross and native building. Now, almost all of these `*Cross` attributes are gone: just these are kept: - Glibc's and Musl's are kept, because those packages are widely used and I didn't want to risk changing the native builds of those at this time. - generic `libcCross`, `theadsCross`, and friends, because these relate to the convolulted GCC bootstrap which still needs to be redone. The BSD and obscure Linux or freestnanding libcs have conversely all been made to use a new `stdenvNoLibc`, which is like the old `crossLibcStdenv` except: 1. It usable for native and cross alike 2. It named according to what it *is* ("a standard environment without libc but with a C compiler"), rather than some non-compositional jargon ("the stdenv used for building libc when cross compiling", yuck). I should have done this change long ago, but I was stymied because of "infinite recursions". The problem was that in too many cases we are overriding `stdenv` to *remove* things we don't need, and this risks cyles since those more minimal stdenvs are used to build things in the more maximal stdenvs. The solution is to pass `stage.nix` `stdenvNoCC`, so we can override to *build up* rather than *tear down*. For now, the full `stdenv` is also passed, so I don't need to change the native bootstraps, but I can see this changing as we make things more uniform and clean those up.
