Problems are worked around by using older gcc wrapper for gnat bootstrap.
(from ca441636f1^)
I tried nicer solutions first, but I was unable to fix all problems for hours.
Especially new users could be confused by this, so we're now marking
services.virtualbox.enable as obsolete and defaulting to
services.virtualboxGuest.enable instead. I believe this now makes it
clear, that this option is for guest additions only.

This is because libxml/libxslt are not the only implementations that
respect $XML_CATALOG_FILES.
Also, look in share/xml for catalogs (in addition to the
now-deprecated xml/dtd and xml/xsl).
Multi-threaded builds exacerbate the non-determinism in ghc package ids, which
is a serious problem for libraries. Packages that define only executables,
however, should be safe to build with parallelism enabled.
Packages that don't have a Setup.hs file get to use a default version that
lives in the Nix store. By default ghc tries to put the Setup.o and Setup.hi
files in the same directory as the source file, which isn't writable. This
leads to build errors [1]. Thus, we re-direct those paths to a build-local
writable location: $TMPDIR.
Arguably, we could also use "." or copy the /nix/store/deadbeef-Setup.hs file
into the local source directory before compiling, which would work fine, too.

Without this, the generated pack files are non-deterministic.
I didn't notice this issue in my earlier testing, because my test repo
had too few commits for the thread scheduling to take effect. (Test repo
had about 10 commits.)
Add more files to the delete list:
* .git/FETCH_HEAD
* .git/ORIG_HEAD
* .git/refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
* .git/config
Further, remove all remote branches, remove tags not reachable from the
given 'rev', do a full repack and then garbage collect unreferenced
objects.
According to my testing, the result is fully deterministic. As in "any
change done to the upstream repo, ahead of 'rev', will not affect the
hash of the resulting 'clone'". Even changing the clone URL will not
change the output hash, because .git/config is removed.
A new version of git can of course change store format, but that's
unavoidable.
For big repositories, the repack operation may be a bit heavy. But as
far as I can see there is no cheaper way to determinism.
Hydra generates a GHC closure for Darwin that for no apparent reason
contains an ancient, broken Haddock binary -- probably because of an
impurity in the build system. That bug makes those GHC binaries
unusable: <https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/2689>.
This likely exacerbates the non-determinism in ghc package ids, so until
that is fixed let's live with the slow builds.
This reverts commit 817c0e4144.
This should fix the OpenJDK build, which was failing because paxctl is
in sbin and therefore not automatically added to $PATH.

This patch makes two changes.
(1) It memoizes the computation of dependsOnOld.
(2) It replaces rewrittenDerivations with a similar memoized table rewriteMemo.
This prevents the entire tree of run-time dependencies from being traversed and instead only traverses the graph of run-time dependencies.
In the case of deep dependency changes (such as changing one's bash version for an entire NixOS system) this can lead to an exponential speedup in processing time
because shared dependencies are no longer traversed multiple times.
This patch isn't quite derivation-per-derivation equivalent to the original computation.
There are two immaterial differences.
(1) The previous version would always call upon sed to replace oldDependency with newDependency even when the store object being updated doesn't directly depend on
oldDependency.
The new version only replaceds oldDependency with newDependency when the store object being updated actually directly depends on oldDependency (which means there is
actually a hash to replace).
(2) The previous version would list the old store object as a source input of the new store object, *except* for the root derivation being updated. Because the
root derivation being updated has its actual derivation avaiable the previous verions would make the updated root derivation depend on the old derivation as a
derivation input instead of a source input.
The new version always lists the old store object as a source input, including the root derivation.
We still need this because some clang-based packages depend on
it. (The sysroot filtering was originally done by clang-wrapper's
ld-wrapper, but we merged the ld-wrappers in
a4f9b9c8b5ec9ef106671ffdf93e0059835d0ec1.)

Fixes a regression on OS X introduced by f83af95.
Don't use --tmpdir for mktemp, because that flag doesn't exist on OS X.
However, using -t is deprecated in GNU coreutils, so as suggested by
@ip1981 we're now using parameter expansion on ${TMPDIR:-/tmp} to
provide /tmp as a fallback if TMPDIR is not set and use it instead.
Also use this approach for nix-prefetch-cvs now in order to stay
consistent.

Instead of relying on $$ to not collide with an existing path.
Quoting the Bash manual about $$:
> Expands to the process ID of the shell. In a () subshell, it expands
> to the process ID of the current shell, not the subshell.
So, this is different from $BASHPID:
> Expands to the process ID of the current bash process. This differs
> from $$ under certain circumstances, such as subshells that do not
> require bash to be re-initialized.
But even $BASHPID is prone to race conditions if the process IDs wrap
around, so to be on the safe side, we're using mktemp here.
Closes #3784.

For now, we don't NATIVE_SYSTEM_HEADER_DIR because it breaks the
build. However, it points to Glibc in the Nix store (not /usr/include)
so it's kind of okay.
Now gcc is just another build input, making it possible in the future
to have a stdenv that doesn't depend on a C compiler. This is very
useful on NixOS, since it would allow trivial builders like
writeTextFile to work without pulling in the C compiler.
If $src refers to a directory, then always copy it. Previously, we
checked the extension first, so if the directory had an extension like
.tar, unpackPhase would fail.
There was a few files containing timestamp, so we now remove them.
It shouldn't be a problem for logs. However, index might be. Anyway,
that's better than nothing.
