Flake users that use a command like `nix build nixpkgs#hello` on a
broken/insecure package will not be able to use an environment variable
to override that behavior, unless they pass `--impure` to the command.

The `curlMinimal` is to be used throughout the early bootstrap
stages. The final stage will allow the new references of the `curl`.
Fixes: 29526bc2 ('curl: IDN support requires libidn2 package')
llvmPackages_*.clang should check the default compiler for the package
set it is targeting (targetPackages.stdenv.cc) instead of the compiler
that has been used to build it (stdenv.cc) in order to get some sense of
whether to use libc++ or libstdc++.
Since we are now inspecting targetPackages in the llvmPackages.clang
attribute, we need to avoid using it in the cross stdenv — which just
forces us to explicitly request libcxxClang for darwin instead of
relying on the clang attribute to pick it for us.
We also need to do something similar for targetPackages.stdenv.cc: Here
the llvmPackages.clang logic would work as we want (inspect
targetPackages.stdenv.cc and if it doesn't exist, make the choice based
on stdenv.cc), but it gets locked in a cycle with the previous package.
We can easily break this, however: We know that the previous set had
clang and the next one doesn't exist, so we'd choose libcxxClang any day
of the week.
Add `shellDryRun` to the generic stdenv and substitute it for uses of
`${stdenv.shell} -n`. The point of this layer of abstraction is to add
the flag `-O extglob`, which resolves#126344 in a more direct way.
`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

Packages that use libtool run it as a wrapper around the linker.
Before calling the linker, libtool will determine what libraries would
be linked, and check if there's a corresponding libtool
archive (libfoo.la) file in the same directory . This file
contains extra information about the library. This is especially
important for static linking, because static archives don't contain
dependency information, so we need libtool to use the .la files to
figure out which libraries actually need to be linked against.
But in Nixpkgs, this has never worked. libtool isn't able to find any
libraries, because only the compiler wrapper knows how to find them,
and the compiler wrapper is opaque to libtool. This is why
pkgsStatic.util-linuxMinimal doesn't build prior to this patch — it
depends on libpam, which depends on libaudit, and if libtool can't
find the .la file, nothing will tell the linker to also link against
libaudit when linking libpam. (It was previously possible to build a
static util-linux, because linux-pam only recently had the audit
dependency added.)
There are a couple of ways we could fix this, so that libtool knows
where to look for .la files.
* Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH/DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH/whatever, which libtool will
examine. This would have major side effects though, because the
dynamic linker looks at it too.
* Inject libtool scripts with the appropriate information. That's
what I've done here. It was the obvious choice because we're
already finding and modifying the libtool scripts, to remove paths
outside the Nix store that libtool might check in unsandboxed
builds. Instead of emptying out the system paths, we can
repopulate it with our own library paths.
(We can't use a wrapper like we do for other tools in Nixpkgs, because
libtool scripts are often distributed in source tarballs, so we can't
just add a wrapped version of libtool as a dependency. That's why
there's already the fixLibtool function in stdenv.)
With this change, libtool is able to discover .la files, and
pkgsStatic.util-linuxMinimal can build again, linking correctly
against libpam and libaudit.
`--enable-deterministic-archives` is a GNU specific strip flag and
causes other strip implementations (for example LLVM's, see #138013)
to fail. Since strip failures are ignored, this means that stripping
doesn't work at all in certain situation (causing unnecessary
dependencies etc.).
To fix this, no longer pass `--enable-deterministic-archives`
unconditionally, but instead add it in a GNU binutils specific strip
wrapper only.
`commonStripFlags` was only used for this flag, so we can remove
it altogether.
Future work could be to make a generic strip wrapper, with support for
nix-support/strip-flags-{before,after} and NIX_STRIP_FLAGS_{BEFORE,AFTER}.
This possibly overkill and unnecessary though -- also with the
additional challenge of incorporating the darwin strip wrapper somehow.
This reverts commit 488395c0f8.
Currently, `nix print-dev-env` fails to execute if this function is present, because of its use of hex literals.
Until this issue (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/5262) is solved, we should revert this to prevent breakage.
somehow `read -N 0` behavior changed in bash 5. `read -d ''` has identical behavior
the purpose of the function is to read stdin and exit 1 on a null byte (i.e. if stdin is the content of a binary)
