This reverts commit 0a944b345e, reversing
changes made to 61733ed6cc.
I dislike these massive stdenv changes with unclear motivation,
especially when they involve gratuitous mass renames like NIX_CC ->
NIX_BINUTILS. The previous such rename (NIX_GCC -> NIX_CC) caused
months of pain, so let's not do that again.
Environment variable filter in substituteAll was not precise and produced
undefined and invalid variable names. Vladimír Čunát tried to fix that in [1],
but `env -0` did not work during Darwin bootstrap, so [2] reverted this change
and replaced an error due to invalid variables with a warning. Recently in #28057
John Ericson added `set -u` to `setup.sh` and undefined variables made the setup
fail during e.g. `nix-build -A gnat` with `setup: line 519: !varName: unbound
variable`.

This becomes necessary if more wrappers besides cc-wrapper start
supporting hardening flags. Also good to make the warning into an
error.
Also ensure interface is being used right: Not as a string, not just in
bash.
- Don't build with libsigsegv by default. The build apparently attempted
to link against it, but it never retained the reference anyway...
- Side effect: stdenv bootstrapping needs no libsigsegv anymore.
- Run checks, but only in the interactive gawk by default on Linux,
so that stdenv bootstrap isn't slowed down (by glibc locales, etc.).
- xz should be no longer needed in inputs, as we have it in stdenvs now.
The whole change was triggered by some used kernel versions still
breaking libsigsegv tests #28464.
Older bash version, like those in the bootstrap tools and on macOS,
currently confuse variables defined as an empty array with undefined
variables. `${foo+"${foo[@]}"}` will prevent `set -u` problems with
empty arrays and older without making a single '' in the empty case.
Care is taken to `set +u` when running hooks so as to not break existing
packages.
This reverts commit eeabf85780.
This change suddenly makes tons of stdenv internals visible in
nativeBuildInputs of every derivation, which doesn't seem desirable.
E.g:
````
nix-repl> hello.nativeBuildInputs
[ «derivation /nix/store/bcfkyf6bhssxd2vzwgzmsbn7b5b9rpxc-patchelf-0.9.drv»
«derivation /nix/store/4wnshnz9wwanpfzcrdd76rri7pyqn9sk-paxctl-0.9.drv»
<< snip 10+ lines >>
«derivation /nix/store/d35pgh1lcg5nm0x28d899pxj30b8c9b2-gcc-wrapper-6.4.0.drv»
]

Additionally, instead of pulling them from `setup.sh`, route them via
Nix. This gets us one step closer to making stdenv be a plain attribute
set instead of a derivation.
Currently the logic of generating nixpkgs Hydra jobs is to walk through
the pkgs evaluated for system = "x86_64-linux", collect any derivations
and their meta.platforms values. However, that doesn't work for
packages whose meta.platforms doesn't include x86_64-linux, as just
evaluating their meta attribute raises an error so they get skipped
completely.
As a less-intrusive fix (i.e. anything than rewriting the current package
enumeration logic), allow passing `config.allowUnsupportedSystem = true`
to permit evaluating packages regardless of their platform and use that
in the package listing phase.
Fixes #25200
@vcunat and others rightly point out that it's easier to quote always,
than learn Bash's idiosyncrasies enough to know when it doesn't make a
difference.
This reverts commit 2743078f66, which
removes quotes that don't do anything, and then goes further adding
even more quotes.
The logic was made pure for the normal libSystem, but this change never
made it to the bootstrap tools. Deduplication the logic as the comment
suggests would have prevented this, but here's a stop-gap until we do
so.
It's better than the eval solution this is adding back, but until we can
rely on a particular version of bash in nix-shell, this just breaks too
much stuff.
See c94f3d5575
and https://github.com/NixOS/nix/pull/1483 for the better long-term
solution.
As @oxij points out in [1], this breakage is especially serious because
it changes the contents of built environments without a corresonding
change in their hashes. Also, the revert is easier than I thought.
This reverts commit 3cb745d5a6.
