Due to link time dead code elimination not working on aarch64-darwin,
some unused store path references in Paths_* modules are retained. This
causes reference cycles when a separate `bin` output is used.
To prevent this, add a patch to Cabal as shipped by GHC which infers
based on the installation layout (which is influenced by
enableSeparateBinOutput, enableSeparateDataOutput etc. in a Nix build)
which references can be retained without causing a reference cycle. This
ensures that packages that were fine with a bin output will also work on
aarch64-darwin. Packages that cause a reference cycle anyways (by
actually using references that do cause one) fail due to a missing
symbol – here we are trading the overall benefit for a more confusing
error message.
For details, refer to the explanation comment in the patch.
`*.*.rts.*.opts` is actually copied from the migration GHC blog post,
but does not, actually, parse: The format is
`<stage>.<package>.<program>.<filetype>.<setting>`, so it would need to
be `*.rts.ghc.opts`. This is already achieved by the broader rule on the
next line.
- Christmas is over!
- Upstream has changed the name of the target triplet used for the JS
backend from js-unknown-ghcjs to javascript-unknown-ghcjs, since Cabal
calls the architecture "javascript":
6636b67023
Since the triplet is made up anyways, i.e. autoconf does not support
it and Rust uses different triplets for its emscripten backends, we'll
just change it as well.
- Upstream fixed the problem with ar(1) being invoked incorrectly by stage0:

Hadrian does this automatically unfortunately, but unless we correctly
set enableShared as well, mkDerivation will try building shared libs
which will inevitably fail due to missing shared core packages.
Let's stay away from fully_static which does a lot of funky stuff and
was not working before anyways for pkgsStatic.
This is needed for faster builds when debugging the opencv derivation,
and it's more consistent with other cuda-enabled packages
-DCUDA_GENERATION seems to expect architecture names, so we refactor
cudaFlags to facilitate easier extraction of the configured archnames
