It turned out that process substitution fed into a while-cycle
isn't recognized during darwin bootstrap:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/35382446/nixlog/1/raw
Also fix broken NIX_DEBUG output, noticed by abbradar.
The set/env fix in #14907 wasn't very good, so let's use a null-delimited
approach. Suggested by Aszlig.
In particular, this should fix a mass-breakage on Darwin, though I was
unable to test that.
bash variable names may only contain alphanumeric ASCII-symbols and _,
and must not start with a number. Nix expression attribute names however
might contain nearly every character (in particular spaces and dashes).
Previously, a substitution that was not a valid bash name would be
expanded to an empty string. This commit introduce a check that throws
a (hopefully) helpful error when a wrong name is used in a substitution.
For every *.{exe,dll} in $output/bin/ we try to find all (potential)
transitive dependencies and symlink those DLLs into $output/bin
so they are found on invocation.
(DLLs are first searched in the directory of the running exe file.)
The links are relative, so relocating whole /nix/store won't break them.
The hook is activated on cygwin and when cross-compiling to mingw.
Close#14335.
Since 89036ef76a, when a package doesn't include a configure script,
the build complains with:
grep: : No such file or directory
grep: : No such file or directory
This prevents that.
Commit 2040a9ac57 changed the order of
$PATH elements, causing initialpath to appear after buildInputs. Thus
gnugrep ended up depending on bin/sh from bootstrapTools, rather than
from pkgs.bash. The fix is to provide pkgs.bash via buildInputs rather
than initialPath.

For some reason, the current bootstrap tools fail to build gettext:

make[5]: *** [libxml/libxml_rpl_la-xpath.lo] Error 1
I didn't investigate why this is the case but rebuilding the bootstrap
tools seems to help.
I used this old-ish WIP branch https://github.com/dezgeg/nixpkgs/commits/arm-bootstrap
since latest master has even more problems with cross-compiling anything.
(I will eventually push this stuff and make the ARM bootstraps build on hydra.)
The $lib output refers to the terminfo database in $out, which is about
10x larger than the ncurses shared library. Splitting these outputs
saves a small amount of space for any derivations that use the terminfo
database but not the ncurses library, but we do not have evidence that
any such exist.
Otherwise, when building glibc and other packages, the "strip" from
bootstrapTools is used, which doesn't recognise some tags produced by
the newer "ld" from binutils.
I assume there's not much use for it during bootstrapping.
This fixes them as well, as curl was compiled against libnghttp2 but the
lib wasn't copied to the bootstrap tools.
