This reverts commit debd401b0f8bedae10c368abd0cacf75ef7f6350.
We must not use a single-binary build for the bootstrap since the common
binary gains a dynamic linkage to gmp (due to 'factor' and 'expr'
handling arbitrary-precision arithmetic).
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
The main output started to retain dependency on bootstrap-tools; see

This reverts commit c05d8295988697adbb920a7b4a999ae3670c5504, reversing
changes made to f073df60d60444c30c49cb26d6b187a4100b41fe.
Close#15803. This avoids the error:
while setting up the build environment: executing
‘/nix/store/7sb42axk5lrxqz45nldrb2pchlys14s1-bash-4.3-p42/bin/bash’:
Argument list too long
Note: I wanted to make it optional based on buildCommand length,
but that seems pointless as I'm sure it's less performant.

On Linux, paxctl's setup hook should overwrite the paxmark stub, but the
stub is defined after the setup hooks are sourced, so the stub ends up
overwriting the real function. The result is that paxmark fails to do
anything. The fix is to define the stub before any setup hooks are
sourced. Thanks to @vcunat for figuring this out.
Closes#15492
This changes cygwin stdenv, but I don't think it will hurt much people.
This allows mkDerivation to get "dontRebase=true" to skip the usual cygwin
rebase. This is required, if we are using this stdenv to build DLLs for win32
inside x86_64-cygwin, because /bin/rebase crashes at finding an arch mismatch.
Additionally, we don't need any rebase for libraries built by visual studio and
meant for visual studio (my use case).
I'm using nix in x86_64-cygwin to build libraries with visual studio, both for
x86_64 and x86.
I'm giving this up. Feel free to find some reasonable variant that works
at least on Linux and Darwin. Problems encountered:
- During bootstrap of Darwin stdenv `env -0` and some bash features
don't work.
- Without `env -0` the contents of some multi-line phases is taken as
variable declarations, which wouldn't typically matter, but the PR
wanted to refuse bash-invalid names which would be occasionally
triggered. This commit dowgrades that to a warning with explanation.
It turned out that process substitution fed into a while-cycle
isn't recognized during darwin bootstrap:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/35382446/nixlog/1/raw
Also fix broken NIX_DEBUG output, noticed by abbradar.
The set/env fix in #14907 wasn't very good, so let's use a null-delimited
approach. Suggested by Aszlig.
In particular, this should fix a mass-breakage on Darwin, though I was
unable to test that.
bash variable names may only contain alphanumeric ASCII-symbols and _,
and must not start with a number. Nix expression attribute names however
might contain nearly every character (in particular spaces and dashes).
Previously, a substitution that was not a valid bash name would be
expanded to an empty string. This commit introduce a check that throws
a (hopefully) helpful error when a wrong name is used in a substitution.
For every *.{exe,dll} in $output/bin/ we try to find all (potential)
transitive dependencies and symlink those DLLs into $output/bin
so they are found on invocation.
(DLLs are first searched in the directory of the running exe file.)
The links are relative, so relocating whole /nix/store won't break them.
The hook is activated on cygwin and when cross-compiling to mingw.
Close#14335.
Since 89036ef76ab09a, when a package doesn't include a configure script,
the build complains with:
grep: : No such file or directory
grep: : No such file or directory
This prevents that.
Commit 2040a9ac574fffd36fe20130897ccec2d5928827 changed the order of
$PATH elements, causing initialpath to appear after buildInputs. Thus
gnugrep ended up depending on bin/sh from bootstrapTools, rather than
from pkgs.bash. The fix is to provide pkgs.bash via buildInputs rather
than initialPath.

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)

make[5]: *** [libxml/libxml_rpl_la-xpath.lo] Error 1
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.)
