The cc and bintools wrapper contained ad hoc bootstrapping logic for
expand-response-params (which was callPackage-ed in a let binding). This
lead to the strange situation that the bootstrapping logic related to
expand-response-params is split between the wrapper derivations (where
it is duplicated) and the actual stdenv bootstrapping.
To clean this up, the wrappers simply should take expand-response-params
as an ordinary input: They need an adjacent expand-response-params (i.e.
one that runs on their host platform), but don't care about the how.
Providing this is only problematic during stdenv bootstrapping where we
have to pull it from the previous stage at times.
We don't need to artificially make sure that we can execute the wrapper
scripts on the build platform by using stdenv's shell (which comes from
buildPackages) since our cross infrastructure will get us the wrapper
from buildPackages. The upside of this change is that cross-compiled
wrappers (e.g. pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.gcc) will actually work
when executed!
For bootstrapping this is also not a problem, since we have a long
build->build platform chain so runtimeShell is just as good as
stdenvNoCC.shell. We do fall back to old ways, though, by explicitly
using the bootstrap-tools shell in stage2, so the adjacent bash is only
used from stage4 onwards. This is unnecessary in principle (I'll try
removing this hack in the future), but ensures this change causes zero
rebuilds.
As of late, `final: prev: …` for overlays has become more prevalent in
newer code. This is also exhibited in some code (presumably added
recently) in stdenv. This change is not about any merits or demerits of
any naming convention, but rather aims to make the nomenclature in
stdenv bootstrapping consistent to lessen confusion.
I've chosen to stick to `self: super: …` convention because:
1. It is more common in the code as it stands.
2. Using `final: prev: …` makes the code more confusing, als it causes
`prev` to be in scope alongside `prevStage`. `prevStage` actually
bears no relation to `prev` even though their naming suggests it,
making it easy to confuse them (the former is the (final) package set
of the previous stage while the latter is just the `prev`/`super` of
the overlay “chaining” on a completely fresh package set, i.e. `prev`
doesn't even relate to the previous stage's `overrides` argument).
This change also corrects a naming error in stdenv/native which had no
effect, as the variables were unused.
this equates to -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
clang has removed support for -ftrivial-auto-var-init=zero and
are unlikely to re-add it, so use -ftrivial-auto-var-init=pattern
on both compilers if only to make behaviour more consistent
between the two.

The aarch64 musl bootstrap tools are woefully outdated. Just getting
them to the point of being able to build new versions of themselves
required a number of hacks[1] that can be reverted once we have new
bootstrap tools, and before that it stdenv didn't even build for the
preceding three years.

This PR updates the bootstrap tarballs for riscv64-linux with new Hydra-generated ones.
Fixes #275848 (bootstrap assembler too old to build gcc 13).

Before the change `pkgsMusl.adobe-reader` was failing the interpreter:
$ nix-instantiate --eval --strict --expr 'with import ./. {}; builtins.tryEval pkgsMusl.adobe-reader'
error:
error: evaluation aborted with the following error message: 'unsupported platform for the pure Linux stdenv'
After the change `pkgsMusl.adobe-reader` returns catchable excation:
$ nix-instantiate --eval --strict --expr 'with import ./. {}; builtins.tryEval pkgsMusl.adobe-reader'
{ success = false; value = false; }
Noticed when was exploring `nixpkgs` for uncatchable evaluation errors.
Ideally those should only happen when there is a code bug in the use
site. In this case it's just a package with incompatible constraints for
`musl`.
Changed uncatchable `abort` to `throw`.
Unlike autoreconfHook, updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook adds
almost no compilations. Therefore, in the interest of building the
same source code on every platform wherever possible, let's
eliminate the conditional guards around
updateAutotoolsGnuConfigScriptsHook in stdenv.
musl now supports RISC-V. Let's centralise musl availability checks
in musl.meta.platforms, so we don't have to keep cleaning up ad-hoc
checks like this all over the tree.
I broke `pkgsMusl` with #209870.
Something odd is happening with `xgcc` (the temporary compiler that
should be used only to compile `gcc`, although we are using it to
compile a temporary `patchelf` too) and `libstdc++`.
The temporary fix in this commit is to use `-static-libstdc++` for
the ephemeral `patchelf` built by `xgcc`. It isn't pretty, but it
appears to work.
Incorporates:
- https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/224945
The stage before `xgcc` creates the first compiled patchelf
(i.e. not from bootstrapFiles).
The `xgcc` stage was inadvertently switching *back* to using the
patchelf *from* the bootstrapFiles.
The first commit in this PR adds self-checking comments (assertions)
to make it clear where each stage's patchelf comes from.
The second commit fixes the bug, and updates the self-checking
comments.
