This commit adds a derivation `gcc-stageCompare` to
`pkgs/test/stdenv/default.nix`.
It is important to always build this derivation whenever building
`stdenv`! Because we are using a Nix-driven bootstrap instead of
gcc's built-in `--enable-bootstrap`, the `gcc` derivation no longer
performs the post-self-compilation sanity check. You must build
this derivation in order to perform that sanity check.
The major benefit of this new approach is that the sanity check
(which involves a third compilation of gcc) can be performed
*concurrently* with all packages that depend on `stdenv`, rather
than serially. Since `stdenv` has very little derivation-level
parallelism it cannot take advantage of more than one or perhaps two
builders. If you have three or more builders this commit will
reduce the time-to-rebuild-stdenv by around 20% (one of three gcc
rebuilds is removed from the critical path, and stdenv's build time
is dominated by roughly 3*gcc + 1*binutils + 1*bison-test-suite).

This commit adds `gcc/common/checksum.nix`, which contains code
common to both gcc11 and gcc12, implementing the `enableChecksum`
feature.
When gcc's built-in bootstrap (`--enable-bootstrap`) is used, gcc
compiles itself three times and compares a hash of the unlinked `.o`
files from the second and third compilation. The
`enableChecksum=true` parameter performs the same comparison as part
of the `postInstall` phase.
Notably, `enableChecksum=true` can be used with `enableBootstrap=false`.

Our bootstrap-files unpacker has always relied on a lot of unstated
assumptions, one of them being that every library has a DT_NEEDED
for librt.so, so patchelf'ing something into the RUNPATH into
librt.so means that it will be searched for every library load in
all of the bootstrap-files.
Unfortunately that assumption is not true for libgcc.
This causes problems, because patchelf links against libgcc (and
against libstdc++, which links against libgcc). So we can't use
patchelf on libgcc, because it needs libgcc, so patchelf doesn't
work until libgcc is patchelfed.
The robust solution here is to use static linking for the copy of
patchelf that is shipped with the bootstrap-files. We don't have to
go all the way to a statically linked libc; just -static-libgcc and
-static-libstdc++ are enough to break the circular dependency.
This commit has no effect on eval. It simply reorganizes the
`gcc11` and `gcc12` expressions so they apply a list of
`overrideAttrs`. The list is currently empty.
The Nix-driven bootstrap of gcc expects that `stdenv.cc.cc` has a
`version` attribute, except if `stdenv.cc` is the `bootstrapFiles`.
This commit causes `ccache-links`'s `cc-wrapper` to `inherit
version` in order to satisfy that requirement. Without this commit,
ofborg CI will fail.

When wrapping `clang` and using a `gccForLibs` whose `libgcc` is in
its own output (rather than the `lib` output), this commit will adds
`-L${gccForLibs.libgcc}/lib` to `cc-ldflags`.
If that flag is not added, `firefox` will fail to compile because it
invokes `clang-wrapper` with `-fuse-ld=lld` and passes `-lgcc_s` to
`lld`, but does not tell `lld` where to find `libgcc_s.so`. In that
situation, firefox will fail to link.
The command at the top of this file fails to evaluate:
```
$ nix-build -A tests.pkg-config.defaultPkgConfigPackages
in job ‘nixpkgs.tests.pkg-config.defaultPkgConfigPackages.tests-combined.x86_64-linux’:
error: pkg-config module `recurseForDerivations` is not defined to be a derivation. Please check the attribute value for `recurseForDerivations` in `pkgs/top-level/pkg-config-packages.nix` in Nixpkgs.
```
This is also causing eval errors on Hydra:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/pr-209870-gcc-external-bootstrap#tabs-errors
Let's filter out `recurseForDerivations=true` from the attrset,
since it exists mainly as a flag to signal special handling when
recursing.
The command
```
nix-build -A tests.trivial-builders.references --show-trace
```
fails eval with
```
in job ‘nixpkgs.tests.trivial-builders.references’:
error: The option `meta.description' does not exist. Definition values:
- In `makeTest parameters': "Run the Nixpkgs trivial builders tests"
```
because `meta.description` and `meta.license` are not valid for
`nixosTest`s (they are valid for `mkDerivation` of course).
This has been causing Hydra eval failures:
https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/nixos/pr-209870-gcc-external-bootstrap#tabs-errors
Let's fix eval by removing these attributes.
This commit adds basic support for tree-sitter in the emacs build,
such that (if the user opts into tree-sitter support), tree-sitter
will be enabled and binary library files for tree-sitter can be
included in the `lib` directory of packages passed to
`emacsWithPackages`. The libraries will be aggregated and included in
treesit-extra-load-path.
The previous pattern for this in the community was to add tree-sitter
libaries by patching emacs's `RUNPATH` with `patchelf` in a post-fixup
phase. However, this has the substantial drawback that two different
emacs installations with different lists of available tree-sitter
libraries must be entirely separate builds. By supplying the
tree-sitter libraries in the wrapping layer of `emacsWithpackages`, it
becomes possible to share a single, more-cacheable "core emacs".
This support defaults to "on" only in emacs 29 and up, since previous
versions do not support tree-sitter out of the box.
