`gcc-unwrapped` basically replaces `gccPlain`. It may seem like an ugly
polution to stick it in all-packages, but a future PR will enshrine this
`*-unwrapped` pattern. In any event, the long term goal is stdenvs might
need to tweak how compilers are booted and wrapped, but the code to build
the unwrapped compilers themselves should be generic.
Introduce new abstraction, `stdenv/booter.nix` for composing bootstraping
stages, and use it everywhere for consistency. See that file for more doc.
Stdenvs besides Linux and Darwin are completely refactored to utilize this.
Those two, due to their size and complexity, are minimally edited for
easier reviewing.
No hashes should be changed.
On one hand, don't want to pass garbage that affects hash, on the other
hand footguns are bad.
Now, factored out the derivation so only need to pass in what is used.
- Non-cross stdenvs are honest and assert that `crossSystem` is null
- `crossSystem` is a mandatory argument to top-level/stage.nix, just like
`system` and `platform`
- Broken default arguments on stdenvs for testing are gone.
- All stdenvs (but little-used stdenvNix) take the same arguments for easy
testing.
This makes the flow of data easier to understand. There's little downside
because the args in question are already inspected by the stdenvs.
cross-compiling in particular is simpler because we don't need to worry
about overriding the config closed over by `allPackages`.
This commit changes the dependencies of stdenv, and clean-up the stdenv
story by removing the `defaultStdenv` attribute as well as the `bootStdenv`
parameter.
Before, the final bootstrapping stage's stdenv was provided by
all-packages, which was iterating multiple times over the
top-level/default.nix expression, and non-final bootstrapping stages'
stdenvs were explicitly specified with the `bootStdenv` parameter.
Now, all stages' stdenvs are specified with the `stdenv` parameter.
For non-final bootstrapping stages, this is a small change---basically just
rename the parameter.
For the final stage, top-level/default.nix takes the chosen stdenv and
makes the final stage with it.
`allPackages` is used to make all bootstrapping stages, final and
non-final alike. It's basically the expression of `stage.nix` (along with a
few partially-applied default arguments)
Note, the make-bootstrap-tools scripts are temporarily broken
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.

- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
Attrnames and package names should be as close as possible to avoid confusion.
I took care not to confuse the two mpc things during the mass-replace,
so hopefully I suceeded (tarball still builds).
