We seem to have enough tests to run into this now:
error: creating symlink from '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/gcroots/profiles' to '/private/tmp/nix-build-nixpkgs-check-by-name.drv-0/source/test-tmp/var/nix/profiles': File exists
On Darwin, /tmp is sometimes a symlink to /private/tmp, which couldn't
be handled before:
error: access to canonical path '/private/var/folders/xp/9_ry6h9x6l9gh_g32qspz0_40000gp/T/.tmpFbcNO0' is forbidden in restricted mode
This both fixes that and adds a test to make sure it can't happen again
This reverts commit d33a309f2c9f85c28cb897e623503f210057a77a.
commit caused ofborg-eval to fail with

$ nix-build pkgs/top-level/release.nix -A tests.cc-wrapper.gcc10Stdenv.aarch64-darwin
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'cannot find attribute `tests.cc-wrapper.gcc10Stdenv''
```
on the 3 other platfomrs the attr is there
ignore `llvmPackages_latest`, it's an alias and it'll be a duplicate.
ignore `llvmPackages_git`, it's not supposed to be used in nixpkgs and
may be broken.
This introduces the `pkgs/by-name` directory as proposed by RFC 140.
Included are:
- The implementation to add packages defined in that directory to the
top-level package scope
- Contributer documentation on how to add packages to it
- A GitHub Actions workflow to check the structure of it on all PRs
most tests use debian-devscripts' hardening-check, so only work on
ELF systems and can only detect a limited subset of flags.
some extra tests actually execute fortify-protected programs and
should be slightly more universally applicable.
- Better filesystem case-sensitivity heuristic
We shouldn't assume that Linux is always case-sensitive.
- Don't include case-sensitive filename in tree
Was used for tests, but this broke channel updates because there's a
check to make sure there's no case-sensitive files!

This commit does the following two things:
1. Changes the Haskell package used in the extraDependencies test from
releaser to conduit. The reason for this is that conduit is more
of a "core" package in Haskell, and it is more likely to always be
working. (If conduit is not compiling, then large chunks of Hackage
won't be working.)
2. Tighten up the GHCi test to actually use the package from
extraDependencies. It appears that GHCi can fail to import the
package from extraDependencies, and that doesn't cause GHCi to
return an error code, which means the test isn't actually testing
anything.
This new change makes it so that if the package from
extraDependencies is actually not included for some reason, then
this shellFor test should fail.

This commit adds `pkgs.test.cross.sanity`, which is meant to be a
carefully curated list of builds/packages that tend to break when
refactoring our cross-compilation infrastructure.
It should strike a balance between being small enough to fit in
a single eval (i.e. not so large that hydra-eval-jobs is needed)
so we can ask @ofborg to check it, yet should have good examples
of things that often break. So, no buckshot `mapTestOnCross`
calls here.
Makes overrideAttrs usable in the same way that `override` can be used.
It allows the first argument of `overrideAttrs` to be either a function
or an attrset, instead of only a function:
hello.overrideAttrs (old: { postBuild = "echo hello"; })
hello.overrideAttrs { postBuild = "echo hello"; }
Previously only the first example was possible.

This change adds a flag to update shebang paths that point to the Nix
store. This is particularly useful when a cross-compiled package uses
same script at compile-time and run-time, but the interpreter must be
changed since hostPlatform != buildPlatform.
With a recent hackage update, turtle stopped compiling on ghc94. This
commit changes the tests.haskell.incremental test to use the temporary
package instead of turtle.
We shouldn't try compiling to aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu from
aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu, because that tends to confuse things and is
not representative of actual cross compilation usage.
This commit adds a derivation `gcc-stageCompare` to
`pkgs/test/stdenv/default.nix`.
It is important to always build this derivation whenever building
`stdenv`! Because we are using a Nix-driven bootstrap instead of
gcc's built-in `--enable-bootstrap`, the `gcc` derivation no longer
performs the post-self-compilation sanity check. You must build
this derivation in order to perform that sanity check.
The major benefit of this new approach is that the sanity check
(which involves a third compilation of gcc) can be performed
*concurrently* with all packages that depend on `stdenv`, rather
than serially. Since `stdenv` has very little derivation-level
parallelism it cannot take advantage of more than one or perhaps two
builders. If you have three or more builders this commit will
reduce the time-to-rebuild-stdenv by around 20% (one of three gcc
rebuilds is removed from the critical path, and stdenv's build time
is dominated by roughly 3*gcc + 1*binutils + 1*bison-test-suite).

Set the executable bit before running the check phase, so that the check
phase can run the script to test its behaviour.
This aligns with what `concatTextFile` is doing.
Also use explicit `if` statements so that we don't silently ignore
`chmod` failures.
with structuredAttrs lists will be bash arrays which cannot be exported
which will be a issue with some patches and some wrappers like cc-wrapper
this makes it clearer that NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE must be a string as lists
in env cause a eval failure
Some packages are only marked broken on specific platforms, so we
filter those out as well.
Consequently, this might not raise an error if the attribute value
needs to point to a different pkgs attribute, but this is not something
we can detect. For now, we'll have to rely on users of such pkg-config
packages to report that kind of error.
There's really not much we can do about this here.
