AFAIK this doesn't have a noticable effect for typical
Linux executables, but will avoid setting the timestamp
inside the file for Windows executables to the build
date.
to not unnecessarily print
```
hello> ++ type -f strip
hello> strip is /nix/store/xzqzq99kbbkad23s2bf4bbrjppg6x0vj-bootstrap-stage2-gcc-wrapper-/bin/strip
```
printing what the strip command is is already done in stripDirs
`echo "stripping (with command $cmd and flags $stripFlags) in $paths"`

stdenv: print message if structuredAttrs is enabled

fix nix develop issue
output hooks don't work yet in nix develop though
making $outputs be the same on non-structuredAttrs and structuredAttrs
is too much trouble.
lets instead make a function that gets the output names
reading environment file '/nix/store/2x7m69a2sm2kh0r6v0q5s9z1dh41m4xf-xz-5.2.5-env-bin'
nix: src/nix/develop.cc:299: std::string Common::makeRcScript(nix::ref<nix::Store>, const BuildEnvironment&, const Path&): Assertion `outputs != buildEnvironment.vars.end()' failed.
use a function to get all output names instead of using $outputs
copy env functionality from https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/76732/commits
Before the change separate-debug-info.sh did the stripping itself.
This scheme has a few problems:
1. Stripping happens only on ELF files. *.a and *.o files are skipped.
Derivations have to do it manually. Usually incorrectly
as they don't run $RANLIB (true for `glibc` and `musl`).
2. Stripping happens on all paths. Ideally only `stripDebugList` paths
should be considered.
3. Host strip is called on Target files.
This change offloads stripping logic to strip hook. This strips more
files for `glibc` and `musl`. Now we can remove most $STRIP calls
from individual derivations.

The initial intent was to strip .a and .o files, not .a.o files.
While at it expanded stripping for $lib output as well.
Without the change `libgcc.a` was not stripped and `.debug*` sections
made into final binaries. It's not a problem on it's own, but it's an
unintended side-effect. Noticed on `crystal_1_0` test failure where
`crystal` was not able to handle `dwarf-5`.
While at it allowed absolute file names to be passed to stripDebugList
and friends.
'strip' does not normally preserve archive index in .a files.
This usually causes linking failures against static libs like:
$ nix build --no-link -f. pkgsCross.mingw32.re2c
> ...-i686-w64-mingw32-binutils-2.38/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld:
/nix/store/...-i686-w64-mingw32-stage-final-gcc-13.0.0-lib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libstdc++.dll.a:
error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
We restore the index by running ranlib explicitly.
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.
The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

Since 1ac53985 "*-wrapper; Switch from `infixSalt` to `suffixSalt`"
(2020) 'TARGET_' prefix (and infix) is no more. '_FOR_TARGET' suffix
is the only used suffix for target-specific tools and flags.
Use that in stip instead of always-empty variable.
`--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.
Use "find -exec" to strip rather than "find … | xargs …". The former
ensures that stripping is attempted for each file, whereas the latter
will stop stripping at the first failure. Unstripped files can fool
runtime dependency detection and bloat closure sizes.
