`exit -1` is equivalent to `exit 255`, since Bash does modulo 256 on the
number.
As per ShellCheck:
> SC2242 (error): Can only exit with status 0-255. Other data should be
> written to stdout/stderr.
POSIX sh (and `bash`) impose a restriction on environment variable name
format and disallow hypheps in the names. Normally it's not a problem
as nothing usually tries to refer nyphenated names.
One exception is `nix develop` (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6848):
$ nix develop -f. gcc -L
gcc-wrapper> ...-get-env.sh: line 70: expand-response-params: bad substitution
Note that bash usually uses explicitly created `expandResponseParams`
variant of the same variable.
To work the problem around let's avoid environment variable export and move
it to `passthru` for `cc` (used ina few places) and remove it completely for
`binutils` (does not seem to be used at all).
Without this change cross-built gcc fails to detect stack protector style:
$ nix log -f pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix powerpc64le.bootGCC | fgrep __stack_chk_fail
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
It happens because gcc treats search paths differently:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/configure.ac;h=446747311a6aec3c810ad6aa4190f7bd383b94f7;hb=HEAD#l2458
if test x$host != x$target || test "x$TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT" != x ||
test x$build != x$host || test "x$with_build_sysroot" != x; then
...
if test "x$with_build_sysroot" != "x"; then
target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = x; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-include"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = xyes; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-root${native_system_header_dir}"
else
target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
fi
else
target_header_dir=${native_system_header_dir}
fi
By passing --with-build-sysroot=/ we trick cross-case to use
`target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
which makes it equivalent to non-cross
`target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
Tested the following setups:
- cross-compiler without libc headers (powerpc64le-static)
- cross-compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le-debug)
- cross-build compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le bootstrapTools)
Before the change only 2 of 3 compilers detected libc headers.
After the change all 3 compilers detected libc headers.
For darwin we silently ignore '-syslibroot //' argument as it does not
introduce impurities.
While at it dropped mingw special case for no-libc build. Before the change
we passed both '--without-headers --with-native-system-headers-dir' for
no-libc gcc-static builds. This tricked darwin builds to find sys/sdt.h
and fail inhibid_libc builds. Now all targets avoid passing native headers
for gcc-static builds.
While at it fixed correct headers passing to
--with-native-system-headers-dir= in host != target case: we were passing
host's headers where intention was to pass target's headers.
Noticed the mismatch as a build failure on pkgsCross.powernv.stdenv.cc
on darwin where `sys/sdt.h` is present in host's headers (libSystem)
but not target's headers (`glibc`).

this shouldn't change any binary available in the default build environment
because bintools-unwrapped is already in path ( idk where it comes from but i know because objcopy is in path but not in the wrapper )
this just makes all the binaries available under 'bintools' instead of
having to use 'bintools-unwrapped'
reduces confusion because now 'objcopy' and others will be in 'bintools'
As far as I can tell, this has never actually done anything, as
LDEMULATION is not exported. I tried exporting it and builds broke,
and as it doesn't seem to have caused any problems as a noop all these
years it didn't seem worth investigating further.
So far we've ignored response files in arguments, and did not
check linkType against expanded parameters. This means if
we have `-static` in a @reponse-file, linkType will not be
set to `-static` as we never check against the expanded arguments
from response files.
fixes e.g.:
pkgsMusl.libfsm
pkgsMusl.libiscsi
pkgsMusl.nsjail
pkgsMusl.pv
match strings have whitespace on either side, which wasn't

`--enable-deterministic-archives` is a GNU specific strip flag and
causes other strip implementations (for example LLVM's, see #138013)
to fail. Since strip failures are ignored, this means that stripping
doesn't work at all in certain situation (causing unnecessary
dependencies etc.).
To fix this, no longer pass `--enable-deterministic-archives`
unconditionally, but instead add it in a GNU binutils specific strip
wrapper only.
`commonStripFlags` was only used for this flag, so we can remove
it altogether.
Future work could be to make a generic strip wrapper, with support for
nix-support/strip-flags-{before,after} and NIX_STRIP_FLAGS_{BEFORE,AFTER}.
This possibly overkill and unnecessary though -- also with the
additional challenge of incorporating the darwin strip wrapper somehow.
At least for now. Such changes are risky (we have very many packages),
and apparently it needs more testing/review without blocking other
changes.

* bintools: disable -pie when -r or -Ur are used
ld’s -r allows you to partially link object files. When -pie is passed with -r, though, we get:
ld: -r and -pie may not be used together
Most build systems are intelligent enough to pass -no-pie before -r, but we might as well support those that
don’t.
Note: -pie is not enabled by default in Nixpkgs, but it is when you are using musl. So this solution is really
only useful for musl toolchains.
* bintools-wrapper: Add incremental -i check for pie
In a typical build environment the toolchain will use the value of the
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET environment variable to determine the version
of macOS to support. When cross compiling there are two distinct
toolchains, but they will look at this single environment variable. To
avoid contamination, we always set the equivalent command line flag
which effectively disables the toolchain's internal handling.
Prior to this change, the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable was
ignored, and the toolchains always used the Nix platform
definition (`darwinMinVersion`) unless overridden with command line
arguments.
This change restores support for MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, and adds
nix-specific MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET_FOR_BUILD and
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET_FOR_TARGET for cross compilation.
Instead of always supplying flags, apply the flags as defaults. Use
clang's native flags instead of lifting the linker flags from binutils
with `-Wl,`.
If a project is using clang to drive linking, make clang do the right
thing with MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET. This can be overridden by command
line arguments. This will cause modern clang to pass
`-platform_version 10.12 0.0.0`, since it doesn't know about the SDK
settings. Older versions of clang will pass down `-macos_version_min`
flags with no sdk version.
At the linker layer, apply a default value for anything left
ambiguous. If nothing is specified, pass a full
`-platform_version`. If only `-macos_version_min` is specified, then
lock down the sdk_version explicitly with `-sdk_version`. If a min
version and sdk version is passed, do nothing.
