inherit_errexit wasn’t available in bash 3. We have a check to show a
nice error message, but that check is after we set inherit_errexit in
setup.sh. So we can just move this to below the BASH_VERSINFO check.
gcc stopped using libelf in commit 48215350c24 ("re PR lto/46273 (Failed
to bootstrap)") around 2010, before gcc-4.6.0.
Bootstrap tools don't use it either.
This PR updates the Hydra-generated bootstrap tarballs for
powerpc64le-linux. The bootstrap-files referenced prior to this
commit will only bootstrap in a nixpkgs which has
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/181802. That PR was closed in
favor of https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/181943, which is a
cleaner solution but which requires regenerating the bootstrap-files.
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/186237511) Hydra build, which used nixpkgs revision ac43c44478 to instantiate:
```

```
and then built:
```
/nix/store/fklpm7fy6cp5wz55w0gd8wakyqvzapjx-stdenv-bootstrap-tools-powerpc64le-unknown-linux-gnu
```
I downloaded these files from Hydra with the following commands:

I then prefetched them into `/nix/store` with:

And started the bootstrap with the following command:
```
nix build -f . -L hello
```
As @lovesegfault requested in #151399, here are the the `sha256sum`s of all the `on-server` components for extra verification:

```
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.
Before the change an attempt to use `gnumake.override { guileSupport = true; }`
caused recursion in bootstrap stages as guileSupport pulls in guile and it's
dependencies.
To restore the bootstrap the change unconditionally sets
`guileSupport = false;` for `gnumake`.

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")
Since 97c43828fb the `file` package has
been part of stdenv, and no longer needs to be listed explicitly as a
build input. Let's remove the platform-specific inclusion for mingw64
as suggested by @mehmooda:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/168413#issuecomment-1147370500
I traced the line removed by this commit through the `git blame`; it
was initially added in this commit (and then shuffled around a few
dozen times by refactorings):

The commit message indicates that `libpng-1.6.20` was current at the

archives](https://github.com/glennrp/libpng) available in git form,
the older versions don't have their autoconfery vendored in, so I
can't link to them. Fortunately the relevant bit hasn't changed since
then:

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.
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.
it may be what the license handling code does, but it's confusing and not very useful

libtool's libtool.m4 script assumes that `file` is available, and can
be found at `/usr/bin/file` (this path is hardwired). Furthermore,
the script with this assumption is vendored into the ./configure
scripts of an enormous number of packages. Without this commit, you
will frequently see errors like this during the configurePhase with
the sandbox enabled:
./configure: line 9595: /usr/bin/file: command not found
Due mostly to luck, this error does not affect native compiles on
nixpkgs' two most popular platforms, x86_64-linux and aarch64-linux.
However it will cause incorrect linker flag detection and a failure to
generate shared libraries for sandboxed cross-builds to a x86_64-linux
host as well as any sandboxed build (cross or native) for the following
hosts: x86_64-freebsd, *-hpux, *-irix, mips64*-linux, powerpc*-linux,
s390x-linux, s390x-tpf, sparc-linux, and *-solaris.
This commit fixes the problem by adding an extra line to fixLibtool()
in pkgs/stdenv/generic/setup.sh. This extra line will scan the
unpacked source code for executable files named "configure" which
contain the following text:
'GNU Libtool is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify'
This text is taken to be an indicator of a vendored libtool.m4. When
it is found, the configure script containing it is subjected to `sed
-i s_/usr/bin/file_file_` which replaces all occurrences of
`/usr/bin/file` with `file`.
Additionally, the `file` package is now considered to be part of
`stdenv`. It has been added to `common-path.nix` so that the `file`
binary will be found in the `$PATH` of every build, except for the
bootstrap-tools and the first few stages of stdenv boostrapping.
Verified no regressions under:
nix-build --arg pkgs 'import ./. {}' ./lib/tests/release.nix
This commit allows the following commands to complete, which should
enable Hydra to produce bootstrap-files for mips64el:
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
pkgs/top-level/release-cross.nix \
-A bootstrapTools.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.build
nix-build \
--option sandbox true \
--option sandbox-fallback false \
. \
-A pkgsCross.mips64el-linux-gnuabi64.nix_2_4
Instead of requiring the platforms be equal, use `isCompatible` to
determine if we can execute tests. The upside of this is that we now
can execute tests for natively cross compiled package sets like
pkgsStatic, pkgsLLVM and pkgsCross.musl64 etc.
canExecute is like isCompatible, but also checks that the Kernels are
_equal_, i.e. that both platforms use the same syscall interface. This
is crucial in order to actually be able to execute binaries for the
other platform.
isCompatible is dropped, since it has changed semantically and there's
no use case left in nixpkgs.
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 configureFlags should be a list of strings
stdenv: deprecate addCoverageInstrumentation adapter
this used to be used in nixos/tests but it hasn't been used in nixpkgs
for years
stdenv: deprecate replaceMaintainersField adapter
it was added in 2009 in 01e98e49b1
by nbp
there are no uses of it in nixpkgs now
stdenv: deprecate validateLicenses adapter
it was added in 2009 in b29073af25
unfreePredicate is now handled in ./pkgs/stdenv/generic/check-meta.nix
so this is unnecessary
This warning logs when a package has no maintainers. It will stay silent
if `meta.maintainers` is not set at all, only complaining when it is an
empty list. In the future a separate warning could be added to allow for
that stricter behavior. Or this warning could be changed.
