stdenv.cross is a silly attribute that needs to go leaving the well-defined hostPlatform and targetPlatform. This PR doesn't remove it, but changes its definition: before it tracked the target platform which is sometimes more useful for compilers, and now it tracks the host platform which is more useful for everything else. Most usages are libraries, falling in the "everything else" category, so changing the definition makes sense to appease the majority. The few compiler (gcc in particular) uses that exist I remove to use targetPlatform --- preserving correctness and becoming more explicit in the process. I would also update the documentation aside mentioning stdenv.cross as deprecated, but the definition given actually erroneously assumes this PR is already merged! |
