This allows the Go compiler in nixpkgs (eg. buildGoModule) to work with
crossSystem.config == mips-*, eg mips-unknown-linux-musl, and
succesfully generate Go MIPS binaries.
nix-build -A grpcurl --arg crossSystem '{ config = "mips-unknown-linux-musl"; }'
This unfortunately cannot currently be tested on qemu-mips as Go emits
ELF files that fail to execute correctly in qemu-user (see:
https://go-review.googlesource.com/c/go/+/239217, on track to land in Go
1.17). However, I have tested this on a physical MIPS device.
I have not been able to build anything using cgo (hit various
compilation errors in C dependencies), but considering
mips-unknown-linux-musl is not a support nixpkgs target this isn't that
surprising.
Because:
* `go-bootstrap` is a native build input of go, so it needs to have
an offset of -1. Otherwise, e.g. when building a go cross-compiler,
it will try to make go-bootstrap a cross-compiler too.
* have to specify `buildPackages` for the `stdenv` override, otherwise
`buildPackages.stdenv` will be the same as `pkgs.gcc8Stdenv`.
Changes are minor - I ended up just patching the ssl certs at the root
file, rather than trying to keep up with the various darwin changes.
The externalnetwork test helper location changed, to so I had to update
that patch as well.
- Add xcbuild as propagatedBuildInput on darwin 7e25bdba5e
