After https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322388, darwin.cctools is just Apple’s cctools again. The replacement for what the bootstrap tools wants is darwin.binutils-unwrapped.
- unpin LLVM11. fix discrepancy with freshBootstrapTools and the tools
built on hydra. pinning the stdenv for the hydra build doesn't pin the
tools as the included packages are able to change.
- remove unused LLVM tools & libs which reduces the uncompressed and
compressed file sizes by more than 1/2. compressed tarball is now 40M
and uncompressed is around 200M
- add @loader_path/. to dylibs that reference other libs in the archive.
this is needed for libraries with re-exports.
- validate shared objects with @rpath references contain the reference
in lib
- add a test to verify that the @loader_path/ works for libc++ as it
re-exports libc++abi
- merge libcxxabi into libcxx for LLVM 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and git.
- remove the link time workaround `-lc++ -lc++abi` from 58 packages as it is no longer required.
- fixes https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/166205
- provides alternative fixes for. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/269548https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/9640
- pkgsCross.x86_64-freebsd builds work again
This change can be represented in 3 stages
1. merge libcxxabi into libcxx -- files: pkgs/development/compilers/llvm/[12, git]/{libcxx, libcxxabi}
2. update stdenv to account for merge -- files: stdenv.{adapters, cc.wrapper, darwin}
3. remove all references to libcxxabi outside of llvm (about 58 packages modified)
### merging libcxxabi into libcxx
- take the union of the libcxxabi and libcxx cmake flags
- eliminate the libcxx-headers-only package - it was only needed to break libcxx <-> libcxxabi circular dependency
- libcxx.cxxabi is removed. external cxxabi (freebsd) will symlink headers / libs into libcxx.
- darwin will re-export the libcxxabi symbols into libcxx so linking `-lc++` is sufficient.
- linux/freebsd `libc++.so` is a linker script `LINK(libc++.so.1, -lc++abi)` making `-lc++` sufficient.
- libcxx/default.nix [12, 17] are identical except for patches and `LIBCXX_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES` (only used in 16+)
- git/libcxx/defaul.nix does not link with -nostdlib when useLLVM is true so flag is removed. this is not much different than before as libcxxabi used -nostdlib where libcxx did not, so libc was linked in anyway.
### stdenv changes
- darwin bootstrap, remove references to libcxxabi and cxxabi
- cc-wrapper: remove c++ link workaround when libcxx.cxxabi doesn't exist (still exists for LLVM pre 12)
- adapter: update overrideLibcxx to account for a pkgs.stdenv that only has libcxx
### 58 package updates
- remove `NIX_LDFLAGS = "-l${stdenv.cc.libcxx.cxxabi.libName}` as no longer needed
- swift, nodejs_v8 remove libcxxabi references in the clang override

Without the change bootstrapTools build fails as:
https://cache.nixos.org/log/g5wyq9xqshan6m3kl21bjn1z88hx48rh-stdenv-bootstrap-tools.drv
error: install_name_tool: changing install names or rpaths can't be redone for: /nix/store/0hxg356h7lnl2hck23wrdpbib3cckx41-stdenv-bootstrap-tools/bin/tac (for architecture x86_64) because larger updated load commands do not fit (the program must be relinked, and you may need to use -headerpad or -headerpad_max_install_names)
As reported in #241692, since the `llvmPackages` bump the
bootstrap-tools started failing to build due to a mismatch in LLVM
versions used to build certain tools.
By overlaying the imported package set to specify `llvmPackages`, we get
everything built with the expected LLVM version.
This will allow buliding bootstrap tools for platforms with
non-default libcs, like *-unknown-linux-musl.
This gets rid of limitedSupportSystems/systemsWithAnySupport. There
was no need to use systemsWithAnySupport for supportDarwin, because it
was always equivalent to supportedSystems for that purpose, and the
only other way it was used was for determining which platforms to
build the bootstrap tools for, so we might as well use a more explicit
parameter for that, and then we can change how it works without
affecting the rest of the Hydra jobs.
Not affecting the rest of the Hydra jobs is important, because if we
changed all jobs to use config triples, we'd end up renaming every
Hydra job. That might still be worth thinking about at some point,
but it's unnecessary at this point (and would be a lot of work).
I've checked by running
nix-eval-jobs --force-recurse pkgs/top-level/release.nix
that the actual bootstrap tools derivations are unaffected by this
change, and that the only other jobs that change are ones that depend
on the hash of all of Nixpkgs. Of the other jobset entrypoints that
end up importing pkgs/top-level/release.nix, none used the
limitedSupportedSystems parameter, so they should all be unaffected as
well.
It's expected that attributes in the top-level package set will all use
that package set, but this wasn't the case for the bootstrap tools.
This led some very confusing behaviour:
- pkgsMusl.stdenvBootstrapTools would build glibc bootstrap tools
- stdenvBootstrapTools was _always_ cross compiled, even if
Nixpkgs wasn't, because it always set crossSystem. This also didn't
match the behaviour of using make-bootstrap-tools.nix as an
entrypoint, where crossSystem would default to null.
For the Linux stdenv, I've made the ideal fix, which is to make pkgs an
argument rather than taking the arguments for pkgs, and then
re-importing it. This means it'll always use exactly the same package
set that's calling it, and should also mean faster eval due to not
importing Nixpkgs twice.
The Darwin stdenv is more complicated, and I'm not able to easily test
it, so I wasn't confident in making the same fix there. Instead, I've
just made sure crossSystem and localSystem are set to the correct values
so they're not always cross compiled and match the parent package set's.
It would still be preferable if somebody could make Darwin's
make-bootstrap-tools.nix take pkgs as an argument, rather than all the
arguments for pkgs.
At some point, I'd like to make another attempt at
71f1f4884b ("openssl: stop static binaries referencing libs"), which
was reverted in 195c7da07d. One problem with my previous attempt is
that I moved OpenSSL's libraries to a lib output, but many dependent
packages were hardcoding the out output as the location of the
libraries. This patch fixes every such case I could find in the tree.
It won't have any effect immediately, but will mean these packages
will automatically use an OpenSSL lib output if it is reintroduced in
future.
This patch should cause very few rebuilds, because it shouldn't make
any change at all to most packages I'm touching. The few rebuilds
that are introduced come from when I've changed a package builder not
to use variable names like openssl.out in scripts / substitution
patterns, which would be confusing since they don't hardcode the
output any more.
I started by making the following global replacements:
${pkgs.openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib pkgs.openssl}/lib
${openssl.out}/lib -> ${lib.getLib openssl}/lib
Then I removed the ".out" suffix when part of the argument to
lib.makeLibraryPath, since that function uses lib.getLib internally.
Then I fixed up cases where openssl was part of the -L flag to the
compiler/linker, since that unambigously is referring to libraries.
Then I manually investigated and fixed the following packages:
- pycurl
- citrix-workspace
- ppp
- wraith
- unbound
- gambit
- acl2
I'm reasonably confindent in my fixes for all of them.
For acl2, since the openssl library paths are manually provided above
anyway, I don't think openssl is required separately as a build input
at all. Removing it doesn't make a difference to the output size, the
file list, or the closure.
I've tested evaluation with the OfBorg meta checks, to protect against
introducing evaluation failures.
`TargetConditionals.h` was missing several definitions, like
`TARGET_OS_TV` that are part of SDK 10.12 at least. And one that doesn't
seem to occur in any SDK afaict, `TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER`.
I added the definitions from SDK 10.12 verbatim and defined
`TARGET_OS_EMBEDDED_OTHER` to be equal to `0`.
I think none of this works if `darwin.Libsystem` is used to build for
linux or iOS though so maybe this needs a more thorough fix?
This reverts 336d82617f because it's no
longer necessary.
This enables the bootstrap stdenv test to specify the actual llvm
of the newly generated build instread of assuming it's the same version
as the current stdenv.
Changes to llvmPackages have caused the `libclang-cpp*.dylib` files to
be included in the `clang-unwrapped.lib` output. So we no longer need to
copy them from libclang.

This is a modified version of a patch to avoid a stdenv rebuild.
I was having a hard time testing new bootstrapFiles because
`make-bootstrap-tools.nix` imports `pkgspath` but does not pass anything
but the current system.
This is merely for convenience and I'm not entirely certain it's a
sensible thing to do, maybe generating new bootstrapFiles while
overriding the current bootstrapFiles isn't something you're supposed to
do?
The rpath structure for the bootstrap tools was reworked to minimize
the amount of rewriting required on unpack, but the test was not
updated to match the different structure.
Additionally [1] builds that use the bootstrap version of libc++
cannot find libc++abi if the reference includes the "lib"
component (ie, libc++ refers to libc++abi with
@rpath/lib/libc++abi.dylib).
