I think it's ok to export things which aren't wrapped. The cc-wrapper
can be thought of as responsible for all of binutils and the c
compiler, only wrapping those binaries which are necessary to
interposition---as opposed to all binaries it thinks are relevaant.
Conversely, adding the setup hook to the unwrapped compilers would be
unforunate as hooks are ugly hacks and the compilers themselves take
a long time to rebuild. Better to wholely separate "pure packages" from
hacks.
Eventually we should avoid this "pre-wrapping" and just update those
files in nixpkgs. This mass-rebuild change is best done along with
those needed to reduce the disparity between native and cross (i.e.
making native the "identity cross").
We now (on cross) require per-target flag interposition by putting the
triple in the names of the relevant environment variables, e.g:
export NIX_arm_unknown_linux_gnu_CFLAGS_COMPILE=...
The wrapper also has a `infixSalt` attribute (and "_" prefixed and
suffixed variants) to assist downstream packages.
Note how that the dashes are replaced to keep the identifier valid.
Using names like this allows us to keep the settings for different
compilers seperate.
I think it might be even better to use names like `NIX_{BUILD,HOST}...`
using the platform's role rather than the platform itself, but this
would be more work as the previous stages' tools would have to be re-
wrapped to take on their new role. I therefore didn't do this for now,
but that route should be thoroughly explored in the future.
This value is require to get c++ std include path for libclang based tools (vim plugins in my case).
I currently extract it this with this rather command:
```
eval echo $(nix-instantiate --eval --expr 'with (import <nixpkgs>) {}; clang.default_cxx_stdlib_compile')
```
it did not trigger any recompilation on my system.
This makes the response file handling more consistent with GCC.
For example, a reponse file may contain:
"-Wl,$ORIGIN"
GCC will treat this as a double quoted string and not expand the
variable reference. Previously, cc-wrapper would expand the variable
in the same was as if the string was provided on the command line.
