It is possible to both be bare metal and have a libc (newlib).
This libc doesn't provide very much --- not enough for CMake to think
the C toolchain works. We therefore adjust our logic so we hit the "bare
metal" case with or without libc.
The "use LLVM" bootstrap is intentionally not affected.
Upstream reverted cmd/compile: revert "fix missing dict pass for type
assertions", as it's causing compilation errors in programs like gopass
- see https://github.com/gopasspw/gopass/issues/2280 and
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/182440.
The revert has already been cherry-picked to HEAD, but there's no
backport release yet. This can be reverted once there's a new release
with that commit.
With explicit support for distinction between Host and Target strip paths
we can now safely strip ELF binaries with their according strip tools
without fear of damaging binaries due to architecture mismatch.
Closure size change for `pkgsCross.mingwW64.gcc12Stdenv.cc.cc`:
# before:
$ nix path-info -Sh $(nix-build -A pkgsCross.mingwW64.gcc12Stdenv.cc.cc) | unnix
/<<NIX>>/x86_64-w64-mingw32-stage-final-gcc-debug-12.1.0 2.5G
# after:
$ nix path-info -Sh $(nix-build -A pkgsCross.mingwW64.gcc12Stdenv.cc.cc) | unnix
/<<NIX>>/x86_64-w64-mingw32-stage-final-gcc-12.1.0 1.5G
It's a follow-up to the breakage caused by 21966e13d2
("gcc: pass --with-build-sysroot=/"). It caused `pkgsLLVM`
cross-toolchain bootstrap breakage:
$ nix build --no-link -f. pkgsLLVM.hello
...
failed: /nix/store/...-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-stage-static-gcc-13.0.0.drv:

The directory that should contain system headers does not exist:
/usr/include
make[2]: *** [Makefile:3279: stmp-fixinc] Error 1 shuffle=1658621302
rm gfdl.pod gcc.pod gcov-dump.pod gcov-tool.pod fsf-funding.pod gpl.pod cpp.pod gcov.pod lto-dump.pod
make[2]: Leaving directory '/build/build/gcc'
Note: it's a no-libc build. It's not expected to use any libc headers.
But in this case fixincludes tries to run and uses default /usr/include
location.
Fixinsludes is not normally expected to run during cross-compilation
on --without-headers. gcc/configure.ac:
: ${inhibit_libc=false}
if { { test x$host != x$target && test "x$with_sysroot" = x ; } ||
test x$with_newlib = xyes ; } &&
{ test "x$with_headers" = xno || test ! -f "$target_header_dir/stdio.h"; } ; then
inhibit_libc=true
fi
The change explicitly passes inhibit_libc=true to configure to disable
include fixing on such cases.
Fixed `nix build --no-link -f. pkgsLLVM.hello` toolchain bootstrap.
Without this change cross-built gcc fails to detect stack protector style:
$ nix log -f pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix powerpc64le.bootGCC | fgrep __stack_chk_fail
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
It happens because gcc treats search paths differently:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/configure.ac;h=446747311a6aec3c810ad6aa4190f7bd383b94f7;hb=HEAD#l2458
if test x$host != x$target || test "x$TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT" != x ||
test x$build != x$host || test "x$with_build_sysroot" != x; then
...
if test "x$with_build_sysroot" != "x"; then
target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = x; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-include"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = xyes; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-root${native_system_header_dir}"
else
target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
fi
else
target_header_dir=${native_system_header_dir}
fi
By passing --with-build-sysroot=/ we trick cross-case to use
`target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
which makes it equivalent to non-cross
`target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
Tested the following setups:
- cross-compiler without libc headers (powerpc64le-static)
- cross-compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le-debug)
- cross-build compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le bootstrapTools)
Before the change only 2 of 3 compilers detected libc headers.
After the change all 3 compilers detected libc headers.
For darwin we silently ignore '-syslibroot //' argument as it does not
introduce impurities.
While at it dropped mingw special case for no-libc build. Before the change
we passed both '--without-headers --with-native-system-headers-dir' for
no-libc gcc-static builds. This tricked darwin builds to find sys/sdt.h
and fail inhibid_libc builds. Now all targets avoid passing native headers
for gcc-static builds.
While at it fixed correct headers passing to
--with-native-system-headers-dir= in host != target case: we were passing
host's headers where intention was to pass target's headers.
Noticed the mismatch as a build failure on pkgsCross.powernv.stdenv.cc
on darwin where `sys/sdt.h` is present in host's headers (libSystem)
but not target's headers (`glibc`).

This is a major refactoring of the gnu-cobol package, which gives us:
1. Split outputs, allowing for small container images for COBOL
applications.
2. Tests running (for Linux)
3. Parallel building
4. Documentation building
5. XML and JSON support
