I am taking the non-invasive parts of #110914 to hopefully help out with #111988.
In particular:
- Use `lib.makeScopeWithSplicing` to make the `darwin` package set have
a proper `callPackage`.
- Adjust Darwin `stdenv`'s overlays keeping things from the previous
stage to not stick around too much.
- Expose `binutilsNoLibc` / `darwin.binutilsNoLibc` to hopefully get us
closer to a unified LLVM and GCC bootstrap.
From the archive `python-gentoo-patches-2.7.18_p8.tar.xz` found at
https://dev.gentoo.org/~mgorny/dist/python/, I copied
`0024-3.6-bpo-42967-only-use-as-a-query-string-separator-G.patch`.
This reduces the amount of packages that are required to use
builtins.fetchurl to fetch. Without this change, mime-types
would not be able to use fetchzip when mime-types support is
added to python3.
Python 3.9 has a new module `zoneinfo` which requires tzdata. By default
it searches TZPATH for folders containing `zoneinfo`.
This commit makes the dependency on tzdata pure.
The issue manifests itself as the following on `aarch64-darwin`:
```

The commit we backport is included in Python 3.8, and it reverts
the change that was introduced all the way back in Python 2.7.
Now that `buildEnv` is ready, always put `makeWrapper` in
`nativeBuildInputs`, rather than `buildInputs` or (worse) mucking around
with setup hooks by hand.
(C.f. #112276, which didn't catch these because the manual setup hook
sourcing is such a hack to being with!)
Fixes #114687
The package set is an attribute of the interpreter. The function to
build an environment (`buildEnv`/`withPackages`) is part of the
interpreter. The interpreter is passed to itself, and needs to be
updated when overridden.
For cross-compilation we splice the package set, and for that the
various `build/host` interpreters and sets need to be available. We
select these currently through `pkgs.${pythonAttr}`. The `pythonAttr`
attribute was not fixed for `pythonFull`.

We need a better solution for this because this is very brittle.
Thanks to the Gentoo team maintaining a fork of python2¹ we can easily
apply their backported patch for this security vulnerability.
