This isn't really desirable in general, but given that Nix itself
currently relies on this behaviour and that we don't want to break
backwards compatibility we should support it for now, maybe
deprecating it in the future.
When implementing this reviewer request:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/161158#discussion_r822256070
to move mips64el-unknown-linux-* from platforms.nix to examples.nix, I
neglected to update the reference in make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix.
As a result, the hydra jobs to generate a bootstrap tarball for
mips64el are not running:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1750828?filter=mips&compare=1750620&full=#tabs-errors
This commit fixes the problem, so the hydra job can run. Once it
does, I will submit a PR adding the trusted bootstrap tarball hash to
pkgs/stdenv/linux/bootstrap-files/.

MIPS has a large space of {architecture,abi,endianness}; this commit
adds all of them to lib/systems/platforms.nix so we can be done with
it.
Currently lib/systems/inspect.nix has a single "isMips" predicate,
which is a bit ambiguous now that we will have both mips32 and mips64
support, with the latter having two ABIs. Let's add four new
predicates (isMips32, isMips64, isMips64n32, and isMips64n64) and
treat the now-ambiguous isMips as deprecated in favor of the
more-specific predicates. These predicates are used mainly for
enabling/disabling target-specific workarounds, and it is extremely
rare that a platform-specific workaround is needed, and both mips32
and mips64 need exactly the same workaround.
The separate predicates (isMips64n32 and isMips64n64) for ABI
distinctions are, unfortunately, useful. Boost's user-scheduled
threading (used by nix) does does not currently supports mips64n32,
which is a very desirable ABI on routers since they rarely have
more than 2**32 bytes of DRAM.
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
longer necessary.
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.
