This requires some small changes in the stdenv, then working around the
weird choice LLVM made to hardcode @rpath in its install name, and then
lets us remove a ton of annoying workaround hacks in many of our Go
packages. With any luck this will mean less hackery going forward.
This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
This fixes a bug introduced in #27831: `for path in "$dir"/lib*.so` assumed that
all libs match `lib*.so`, but 07674788d6 started
adding libs that match `*.so` and `*.so.*`.
Now is an opportune time to do this, as the infixSalt conversion in
`add-flags.sh` ensures that all the relevant `NIX_*` vars will be
defined even if empty.
This is basically a sed job, in preparation of the next commit. The
rules are more or less:
- s"NIX_(.._WRAPPER_)?([a-zA-Z0-9@]*)"NIX_\1@infixSalt@_\2"g
- except for non-cc-wrapper-specific vars like `NIX_DEBUG`
Unified processing of command line arguments in ld-wrapper broke support for
`NIX_DONT_SET_RPATH` and revealed that ld-wrapper adds the directory of its
`-plugin` argument to runpath. This pull request fixes that. It treats
`dir/libname.so` as `-L dir -l name`, because this is how `ld.so` interprets
resulting binary: with `dir` in `RUNPATH` and the bare `libname.so` (without
`dir`) in `NEEDED`, it looks for `libname.so` in each `RUNPATH` and chooses the
first, even when the linker was invoked with an absolute path to `.so`.
The time to expand rpath was proportional to the number of -L flags times the
number of -l flags. Now it is proportional to their sum (assuming constant
number of files in each directory in an -L flag).

The following parameters are now available:
* hardeningDisable
To disable specific hardening flags
* hardeningEnable
To enable specific hardening flags
Only the cc-wrapper supports this right now, but these may be reused by
other wrappers, builders or setup hooks.
cc-wrapper supports the following flags:
* fortify
* stackprotector
* pie (disabled by default)
* pic
* strictoverflow
* format
* relro
* bindnow
The importance of glibc makes it worthwhile to provide debug
symbols. However, this revealed an issue with separateDebugInfo: it
was indiscriminately adding --build-id to all ld invocations, while in
fact it should only do that for final links. Glibc also uses non-final
("relocatable") links, leading to subsequent failure to apply a build
ID ("Cannot create .note.gnu.build-id section, --build-id
ignored"). So now ld-wrapper.sh only passes --build-id for final
links.
The ld-wrapper.sh script calls `readlink` in some circumstances. We need
to ensure that this is the `readlink` from the `coreutils` package so
that flag support is as expected.
This is accomplished by explicitly setting PATH at the top of each shell
script.
Without doing this, the following happens with a trivial `main.c`:
```
nix-env -f "<nixpkgs>" -iA pkgs.clang
$ clang main.c -L /nix/../nix/store/2ankvagznq062x1gifpxwkk7fp3xwy63-xnu-2422.115.4/Library -o a.out
readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]
```
The key element is the `..` in the path supplied to the linker via a
`-L` flag. With this patch, the above invocation works correctly on
darwin, whose native `/usr/bin/readlink` does not support the `-f` flag.
The explicit path also ensures that the `grep` called by `cc-wrapper.sh`
is the one from Nix.
Fixes#6447
