- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null
- `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
`system` and `platform`
- Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.
- All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
testing.
This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.
cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.
Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.
Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.
`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)
Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken
