haskell.packages.ghc921.bsb-http-chunked: disable doctest suite
This package's doctest suite is invoked in a weird way apparently which
makes it fail to typecheck with GHC 9.2.1.
mach-o executables we produce in writers are not always fully valid for
some reason. In normal derivation this is fixed in fixupPhase and we can
replicate this behavior here easily.
Resolves#132660.
* haskell.packages.ghc884.ghc-api-compat needed us to re-add the 8.6
version of the package.
* haskell.packages.ghc901.ghc-api-compat now points to the newly
released 9.0.1 version of the package.
* haskell.packages.ghc8107.ghc-api-compat now correctly points to
ghc-api-compat 8.10.7.
GHC 9.2.1 is still unsupported (which is to be expected, with it
being a release candidate).
To make sure everything stays working we'll build ghc-api-compat as part
of versionedCompilerJobs.
The only big change is required for darwin since GHC 8.10.5 now
runs xattr in the install phase on darwin:
* 11e1dcde0d
* ec451cac39
Unfortunately, it uses the host /usr/bin/xattr by default which is
present in the build due to a lack of sandboxing on darwin. That xattr
version however still requires Python 2.7 whereas Python 3.8 is in PATH
in our build. We solve this by setting the XATTR environment variable.
We can't use python3Packages.xattr since GHC expects Apple's fork of
xattr which provides some extra flags to utilize.

The statically-linked Haskell packages on Darwin are not currently
working because libiconv is not building statically on Darwin.
The statically-linked Haskell packages on aarch64 are timing out on Hydra.
Since the agda compiler is updated via haskellPackages.Agda, we are
quite likely to cause regressions in agdaPackages when the language is
changed via compiler updates. Thus we should build agdaPackages (which
is very small) as part of the haskell-updates jobset and track if
basic agda functionality (compiler and standard library) is working.
Since the rust writer doesn't seem to get fixed on darwin, we'll just
wrap the haskell writer test in our own derivation (which is possible
since tests.writers exposes a bunch of internals via passthru) and
expose it via tests.haskell which are already in mergeable.
Finally a way to test the (hopefully) working haskell writer on darwin
again!
Since libiconv doesn't build in pkgsStatic on darwin, having these
builds in our aggregate jobset are just gonna make it fail due to reason
not really in scope for our jobset here.
This way we can keep track of any new regressions to this as well as
have some binary cache, so using this infrastructure doesn't require
compiling GHC all the time.
We have different attribute sets defining jobs: The list of base jobs,
the ones generated by versionedCompilerJobs and our added aggregate
jobs. During this we define `haskell` twice: Once for `haskell.compiler`
and once for `haskell.packages.*`. The `//` operator throws a way the
former which is fixed by using lib.recursiveUpdate.
Unfortunately makes the expression less pretty, but at least we have our
compiler jobs back.
top-level/release.nix builds haskellPackages on those systems as well,
so we should test on them as well. Currently we have virtually no
insight into the state on there.
