This is a change for `powerpc-linux` but that is ancient and I don't
think it matters. The impure bootstrap that was previously assigned to
it has probably bitrotted anyways.
the motivation for this is to simplify stdenv and ease the job of
reviewers due to them needing to tell contributors about the defacto
rule that mesonFlags should be a list of strings
This PR adds Hydra-generated bootstrap tarballs for mips64el-linux. I'll be following the script established in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/151399, which I previously used in https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/168199.
Files came from [this](https://hydra.nixos.org/build/182757245) Hydra build, which used nixpkgs revision ef3fe254f3 to instantiate:
```
/nix/store/a2bvv663wjnyhq8m7v84aspsd3sgf9h6-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64.drv
```
and then built:
```
/nix/store/aw3dmsrh22831l83vi3q9apg9qi3x8ms-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64
```
I downloaded these files from Hydra with the following commands:
```
STOREPATH=aw3dmsrh22831l83vi3q9apg9qi3x8ms-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64
OPTIONS="--option binary-caches https://cache.nixos.org"
nix store add-file \
--name bootstrap-tools.tar.xz \
$(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/bootstrap-tools.tar.xz
nix store add-path \
--name busybox \
$(nix-store ${OPTIONS} -r /nix/store/${STOREPATH})/on-server/busybox
```
I then prefetched them into `/nix/store` with:
```
$ nix store prefetch-file --executable file:///nix/store/aw3dmsrh22831l83vi3q9apg9qi3x8ms-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64/on-server/busybox

$ nix store prefetch-file file:///nix/store/aw3dmsrh22831l83vi3q9apg9qi3x8ms-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64/on-server/bootstrap-tools.tar.xz

```
And started the bootstrap with the following command (the `--arg localSystem` is needed because #161159 has not merged):
```
nix build -f . -L hello --arg localSystem '(import ./lib).systems.examples.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64'
```
As @lovesegfault requested in #151399, here are the the `sha256sum`s of all the `on-server` components for extra verification:
```
$ sha256sum /nix/store/aw3dmsrh22831l83vi3q9apg9qi3x8ms-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-mips64el-unknown-linux-gnuabi64/on-server/*

Closes#178625
The `busybox` version of `mktemp` requires exactly six `X` characters
in the argument to `mktemp`, unlike the `coreutils` version of `mktemp`.
Let's accomodate packages, like `epson-escpr2`, which fool `setup.sh`
into using the `busybox` version instead of the `stdenv` version.
In 5643714dea, I changed pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools.nix
to take a package set instead of system and localSystem arguments, but
I forgot to update make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix.
Fixes: 5643714dea ("stdenvBootstrapTools: inherit {cross,local}System")
During stdenv bootstrapping, coreutils is built twice. This makes
troubleshooting very difficult, because both packages have
name="coreutils", so it is a hassle to figure out "which coreutils am
I using / is not building"?
The first of these builds is used only in stage4, and is not part of
the final stdenv. Let's label that one with a different `name`
attribute to make it obvious which is which.
The usage of `makeStaticLibraries` in stdenv/linux/default.nix is
prefaced by this comment:
# Link GCC statically against GMP etc. This makes sense because
# these builds of the libraries are only used by GCC, so it
# reduces the size of the stdenv closure.
However "these builds of the libraries are only used by GCC" is not
actually true. As currently written, the stage4 coreutils links
against these customized, static-ified libraries.
Beside the fact that the code doesn't actually do what it says, this
causes other problems as well. One example is #168983, which arises
because have a dynamically-linked binary (coreutils) which is built
from statically-linked libraries (libgmp.a); doing this causes mayhem
on platforms where `-fstack-protector` needs an auxiliary
`libssp.{so,a}` library; we end up with link failures because some
parts of the resulting binary want `libssp.so` and other parts want
`libssp_nonshared.a`.
Let's make the code actually do what the comment says, by moving these
definitions into the `gcc-unwrapped` override. This will cause the
stage4-coreutils to link against libgmp dynamically, rather than
statically. For this reason this commit depends on the previous
commit, which allows that to be done without creating a forbidden
reference from stdenv-final to the bootstrap-files.
As explained in the comment, this ensures that stage4-coreutils does
not leak a reference to the bootstrap-files by way of libgmp. This
will allow the next patch in this series to build stage4-coreutils
using a dynamically-linked (rather than statically-linked) libgmp.
