- Replaced python override from the final stdenv, instead we
propagate our bootstrap python to stage4 and override both
CF and xnu to use it.
- Removed CF argument from python interpreters, this is redundant
since it's not overidden anymore.
- Inherit CF from stage4, making it the same as the stdenv.
When `makeWrapperArgs` variable is not set, `declare -p makeWrapperArgs`
will return with 1 and print an error message to stderr.
I did not handle the non-existence case in b0633406cb
because I thought `mk-python-derivation` will always define `makeWrapperArgs`
but `wrapProgram` can be called independently. And even with `mk-python-derivation`,
`makeWrappers` will not be set unless explicitly declared in the derivation
because of https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/1461.
I was lead to believe that because the builds were succeeding and I confirmed
that the mechanism fails when the variable is not defined and `-o nounset` is enabled.
It appears that `wrapPython` setup hook is not running under `-o nounset`, though,
invaldating the assumption.
Now we are checking that the variable exists before checking its type, which
will get rid of the warning and also prevent future error when `-o nounset`
is enabled in the setup hook.

Bash takes an assignment of a string to an array variable:
local -a user_args
user_args="(foo bar)"
to mean appending the string to the array, not parsing the string into
an array as is the case when on the same line as the declaration:
local -a user_args="(foo bar)"
b0633406cb extracted the declaration before
the newly branched code block, causing string makeWrapperArgs being added
to the array verbatim.
Since local is function scoped, it does not matter if we move it inside
each of the branches so we fix it this way.
When `makeWrapperArgs` is a Bash array, we only passed the first
item to `wrapProgram`. We need to use `"${makeWrapperArgs[@]}"`
to extract all the items. But that breaks the common string case so
we need to handle that case separately.
This will turn manylinux support back on by default.
PIP will now do runtime checks against the compatible glibc version to
determine if the current interpreter is compatible with a given
manylinux specification. However it will not check if any of the
required libraries are present.
The motivation here is that we want to support building python packages
with wheels that require manylinux support. There is no real change for
users of source builds as they are still buildings packages from source.
The real noticeable(?) change is that impure usages (e.g. running `pip
install package`) will install manylinux packages that previously
refused to install.
Previously we did claim that we were not compatible with manylinux and
thus they wouldn't be installed at all.
Now impure users will have basically the same situation as before: If
you require some wheel only package it didn't work before and will not
properly work now. Now the program will fail during runtime vs during
installation time.
I think it is a reasonable trade-off since it allows us to install
manylinux packages with nix expressions and enables tools like
poetry2nix.
This should be a net win for users as it allows wheels, that we
previously couldn't really support, to be used.
It's a year until the final release but this will give a chance to test
out certain features and how it integrates with other packages.

There were no new changes in version 3.5.9; 3.5.9 was released only because of a CDN caching problem,
which resulted in some users downloading a prerelease version of the 3.5.8 .xz source tarball.
Apart from the version number, 3.5.9 is identical to the proper 3.5.8 release.
Go beyond the obvious setup hooks now, with a bit of sed, with a skipped case:
- cc-wrapper's `dontlink`, because it already is handled.
Also, in nix files escaping was manually added.
