Updating the cross-build expressions, adding some flexibility.
Updated the linux headers used cross building, as 2.6.28 had bugs on endianness in
sparc64.
There were, as usual some bugs in gcc. Maybe not many make a cross compiler to
ultrasparc.
For the record, I could build an ultrasparc kernel with this base nix:
import /etc/nixos/nixpkgs/default.nix # The root nixpkgs default.nix
{
crossSystem = {
config = "sparc64-unknown-linux";
bigEndian = true;
arch = "sparc64";
float = "soft";
withTLS = true;
cpu = "ultrasparc";
};
config = pkgs: {
packageOverrides = pkgs : {
platform = {
name = "sparc64";
kernelHeadersBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
kernelBaseConfig = "sparc64_defconfig";
kernelArch = "sparc";
kernelAutoModules = false;
kernelTarget = "zImage";
uboot = null;
};
};
};
}
Although it did not boot directly in qemu-system-sparc64:
[sparc64] Kernel already loaded
Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000020

builder.sh already sets postInstall. As a result Glibc had a
retained dependency on bootstrap-tools. Added the "rm" to
builder.sh.
* localesbuilder.sh -> locales-builder.sh.

native strip. So we now distinguish dontStrip and dontCrossStrip. I updated
the expressions for glibc-2.9 and glibc-2.11 accordingly.
I could get rid of the cross-glibc depending on the cross-gcc-stage-static.
Enabling nls in the final cross-gcc.
I still have problems on wint_t/wchar_t not working on cross build. Gettext
does not build.

- Disabling guile test, because one fails. I commented on that in the source.
On cross builds:
- Adding stripping
- Updating the glibc-2.11 expression to match the parameters of glibc-2.9,
which I was updating more.
- Renaming from selfNativeBuildInput to selfBuildNativeInput, so this matches
better the pattern buildNativeInputs.

- Stating better the guile dependencies (native/host) for guile to build
- Fixing cross-linking, through --rpath-link (ld(1) explains well about it
- Made gcc call the linker and the assembler through the gcc wrapper instead of
directly. I thought this was the source of missing -rpath's, but the source
of the problem ended up being the lack of --rpath-link. But I think the
native gcc calls the wrapped ld and as, so let's do the same cross
compiling.
- Removed the binutilsCross from the glibc expressions. Now they are built
using the gcc-cross-wrapper, and they were built with the direct gcc and
binutils before this change.
- I think patchelf and strip don't break the cross-compiled binaries, so I
reallow them on cross compilation.
- I disable the checkPhase on cross compilation. This made gmp and libtool
fail when cross compiled, iirc.

arguments for the ncurses expression.
We should find a way to express a dependency in cross compilation of the style
"cross-ncurses depends on having the native-ncurses".
