My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter,
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:
bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
inherit fetchurl bison;
stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};
Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.
I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.
I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...
I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.
This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.
I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.

works on Red Hat Linux, i.e. that is based on glibc version 2.5.
Furthermore, this patch fixes a number of gcc 4.3.3 build errors in glibc 2.5
that occur on both x86 and x86_64. The older version of this library is still
useful for running Nix on a Red Hat host. Newer version of glibc fail to detect
the kernel's capabilities correctly (due to mad patches applied to the kernel
by Red Hat).
The individual changes are:
* Re-activated glibc 2.5 in all-packages.nix.
* Fix incomplete header search path in bootstrap tools.
Gcc-wrapper sets "-B<prefix>" to tell the compiler about its installation
root. Unfortunately, the setting doesn't add $gcc/lib/gcc/*/*/include-fixed
to the search path. That directory is required, however, because it contains
the system-specific "limits.h" file, and the glibc 2.5 builds tries to find
that file via #include_next.
* Support intrinsic functions like __signbit() or atof() correctly to avoid
compile-time conflicts.
* Switch to NPTL. Linuxthreads is no longer supported.
* Added a meta attribute to glibc package.
* Updated nixUnstable to version 0.13pre15614 from trunk. The previous version
failed regression tests.
* Fix more strict type checking in binutils since 2.18.50.0.3.
Without this patch, the build failed on x86, saying:

modules for the initial ramdisk if there were no additional kernel
module packages (such as the NVIDIA driver or AUFS), leading to a
kernel panic in the initrd. This was because in that case modprobe
would print paths referring to the kernel path rather than the
module aggregation path, and then `sed "s^$kernel^$out^"' would
silently fail. Fixed.
* Also, use depmod here rather than doing sed hackery on modules.dep.
* Also, `allowMissing' was broken (missing "$" before the variable
name).

* Inlined some trivial builders.
* Removed a few explicit setup-hook creations. This is done
automatically now if setupHook is set.
* Deleted the initscripts package. NixOS doesn't use it anymore.

were only used by the old build farm.

otherwise aclocal barfs. Updated the builder to use makeWrapper
* Made Automake 1.10 the default.
* Fixed `make check' in Automake by turning off indented logging in
Make (there is a flag for that now).
* Disabled the `make check' in Automake by default because it takes a
REALLY long time (e.g. more than 2 hours on Cygwin, 50 minutes on
Darwin, 25 minutes on Linux) which is a lot for a package that
otherwise takes 10 seconds to build. We can add a Hydra job with
doCheck enabled to do regression testing.
* make-wrapper: allow --run commands to add additional flags to the
invocation of the wrapped program. An example is the aclocal
wrapper: it adds additional -I ... flags.
* make-wrapper: call the wrapped program .foo-wrapped instead of
.wrapped-foo to make it easier to tell programs apart in `ps'
output.

* Added a function binaryTarball to do a DESTDIR build into
/usr/local. Useful for making statically linked binaries. However,
it may be better to do this in a VM (since if you do it in a Nix
build environment, you can still end up with a lot of Nix
dependencies in your binaries, even if you do static linking).
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=14726
instead of "gcc-4.3.3". This fixed the long-standing annoyance that
you can't distinguish the two in (say) nix-store -qR.
* On x86_64-linux, put $out/lib64 in the RPATH in addition to
$out/lib, because some packages (in particular GCC) put libraries in
$out/lib64 and ended up linking against the wrong library.
* Strip $out/lib64.
* Removed g77_42 because it's exactly the same as gfortran.

should fix previous problems with GCC 4.3 in compiling C++ code
where e.g. <cassert> has to appear before <assert.h> in the search
path due to the former's use of #include_next. The previous "fix"
broke compilation of C code by placing the C++ include directory
before the Glibc include directory (which would barf on
e.g. <complex.h>, which appears in both).

* checkinstall: get rid of the RUNPATH in the LD_PRELOAD library so

fetchurl instantiations, instead of passing the mirrors to fetchurl
