I broke this in the cleanups I did in 171c7f0, the gcc inside the bootstrap
tarball is not getting built with the correct --with-fpu, --with-float
etc. options.
- cloog, ppl, cloogppl aren't used by recent GCCs. Kill references to them.
- Use correct versions of isl, as the current GCC depends
on non-default versions of them.
- Also clarify isl dynamic libraries are needed in cross
builds, but not in native builds
- Since aeb3d8c (bzip2: fix cross build on mingw by using autoconf patch),
it seems that the bzip2 binary depends on libbz2 when cross compiling.
So copy libbz2 into the bootstrap tarball as well.
- Curl isn't used in the bootstrap tools since e6f61b4cf3388.
Our coreutils now uses single-binary-build mode where, by default,
simple shebang scripts are used for all the binaries. That doesn't work
e.g. with the Linux unpacker which only handles standard binaries and
symlinks. Let's use the symlinked mode instead for boostrapping.
This does NOT change any stdenv hashes.
I only tested the case most important to me:
$ nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A stdenvBootstrapTools.x86_64-linux.test
For some reason, the current bootstrap tools fail to build gettext:
init2.c:37: MPFR assertion failed: (64 - 0) == ((64 - 0)/8) * 8 && sizeof(mp_limb_t) == ((64 - 0)/8)

I didn't investigate why this is the case but rebuilding the bootstrap
tools seems to help.
I used this old-ish WIP branch https://github.com/dezgeg/nixpkgs/commits/arm-bootstrap
since latest master has even more problems with cross-compiling anything.
(I will eventually push this stuff and make the ARM bootstraps build on hydra.)
I assume there's not much use for it during bootstrapping.
This fixes them as well, as curl was compiled against libnghttp2 but the
lib wasn't copied to the bootstrap tools.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Otherwise this fails on ARM:
