This fixes pyicu (and any other package that uses `icu-config` instead
of the CMake or some other module to get the build flags).
What happened here is the bootstrap disables `patchShebangs` to avoid
propagating the bootstrap tools to the final stdenv (due to `sh` and
`bash` being on the `PATH` from the bootstrap tools). Because of that,
the `#!/bin/sh` line in `icu-config` was not updated, causing it to
invoke the system bash on Darwin. While that is undesirable in its own
right, when the system bash is invoked as `sh`, `echo -n` will print
`-n`, resulting in the breakage see in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/241951#issuecomment-1627604354.
The fix is to build bash earlier in the bootstrap while making sure it
is picked up over the one in the bootstrap tools. That allows
`patchShebangs` to be enabled during the bootstrap. Any package with
scripts that is included in the final stdenv should now have its
scripts’ shebang lines properly patched.
When sandboxing is enabled, the hook tries to run `install_name_tool`
and fails because the system one is inaccessible. Having it use
`targetPrefix` allows it to find and use the cross-install_name_tool.

swift-corelibs uses libcurl to implement `NSURLSession` in Foundation
via the symbols exported by CF. Foundation is not build on Darwin, and
these symbols are not exported by the system CoreFoundation.
By not linking against libcurl, this breaks a cycle between CF and
libcurl. That should allow libcurl to drop the patch disabling
linking against the SystemConfiguration and restore NAT64 support.
Unfortunately, the Darwin stdenv bootstrap still needs to build
dependencies that use `fetchFromGitHub`. While it can drop curl from the
final stdenv, it still needs to use it during the stdenv bootstrap.
In preparation for bumping the LLVM used by Darwin, this change
refactors and reworks the stdenv build process. When it made sense,
existing behaviors were kept to avoid causing any unwanted breakage.
However, there are some differences. The reasoning and differences are
discussed below.
- Improved cycle times - Working on the Darwin stdenv was a tedious
process because `allowedRequisites` determined what was allowed
between stages. If you made a mistake, you might have to wait a
considerable amount of time for the build to fail. Using assertions
makes many errors fail at evaluation time and makes moving things
around safer and easier to do.
- Decoupling from bootstrap tools - The stdenv build process builds as
much as it can in the early stages to remove the requirement that the
bootstrap tools need bumped in order to bump the stdenv itself. This
should lower the barrier to updates and make it easier to bump in the
future. It also allows changes to be made without requiring additional
tools be added to the bootstrap tools.
- Patterned after the Linux stdenv - I tried to follow the patterns
established in the Linux stdenv with adaptations made to Darwin’s
needs. My hope is this makes the Darwin stdenv more approable for
non-Darwin developers who made need to interact with it. It also
allowed some of the hacks to be removed.
- Documentation - Comments were added explaining what was happening and
why things were being done. This is particular important for some
stages that might not be obvious (such as the sysctl stage).
- Cleanup - Converting the intermediate `allowedRequisites` to
assertions revealed that many packages were being referenced that no
longer exist or have been renamed. Removing them reduces clutter and
should help make the stdenv bootstrap process be more understandable.
Makes overrideAttrs usable in the same way that `override` can be used.
It allows the first argument of `overrideAttrs` to be either a function
or an attrset, instead of only a function:
hello.overrideAttrs (old: { postBuild = "echo hello"; })
hello.overrideAttrs { postBuild = "echo hello"; }
Previously only the first example was possible.

Unlike autoreconfHook, updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook adds
almost no compilations. Therefore, in the interest of building the
same source code on every platform wherever possible, let's
eliminate the conditional guards around
updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook in stdenv.
cctools-llvm is a replacement for cctools that replaces as much of cctools with equivalents from LLVM that it can reasonably do. This was motivated by wanting to reduce dependencies on cctools, which are updated infrequently by upstream.
To provide a motivating example, the version of `strip` included in cctools cannot properly strip the archives in compiler-rt in LLVM 15. Paths are left to bootstrap tools, resulting in failed requisites checks in the final stdenv build. Since `strip` needs replaced, the opportunity was taken to replace other provided they are functional replacements.
Note: This has to be done in cctools (or some equivalent) because some derivations (noteably LLVM) use the bintools of the stdenv directly instead of going through the wrapper.
The following tools from LLVM are not used in this derivation:
* LLD - not fully compatible with ld64 yet and potentially too big of a change;
* libtool - not a drop-in replacement yet because it does not support linker passthrough, which is needed by xcbuild;
* lipo - crashes when running the LLVM test suite;
* install_name_tool - fails when trying to build swift-corefoundation; and.
* randlib - not completely a drop-in replacement, so leaving it out for now.
If other incompatabilities are found, the tools can be reverted or made conditional. For example, cctools `strip` is preferred on older versions of LLVM (which lack the compiler-rt issue) or when cctools itself is a new enough version because `llvm-strip` on LLVM 11 produces files that older verions of `codesign_allocate` cannot process correctly.
One final caveat/note: Some tools are not duplicated or linked from cctools-port. The names of the tools and which ones were linked was determined based on what is provided upstream in Xcode and is installed on macOS system.
passAsFile passes the values of Nix bindings to the builder as
files, so if those values contained references, they wouldn't end up
in the inputDerivation output. To fix that, append the contents of
every such passed file to the output.
We only have shell builtins in this derivation, so we can't use cat.
The only way I know of appending the contents of one file to another
using only shell builtins is as I've done here, but it requires
putting the contents of the file on echo's argv. This might end up
causing problems with large files. Regardless, I think we should try
this, as a failure is better than silently producing an incorrect
result like the previous behavior.
`nix-2.4+` automatically filters `__contentAddressed` out of the
environment. But not `nix-2.3`. This make `.drv` to differ between
unset and `__contentAddressed = false` derivations.
This change makes them equal by filtering out `__contentAddressed`
unless it's set to `true`.
