what the new nix thinks the fuloong is.
Anyone having the old nix should use a nixpkgs previous to this change to build
the new nix. And then, with the new nix, he can use any newer nixpkgs revision.

tools (4.1.2) seems to have performance problems doing pattern
substitutions on large strings (it takes several minutes on
binutils' Makefile.in). Bash 4.2 seems to be fine.

some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

handling of dynamic libraries from --copy-dt-needed-entries to
--no-copy-dt-needed-entries, which breaks stuff (e.g. GCC, see
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1608471). So stick with 2.21.1 for
now.

bootstrap-tools, because zlib was there and binutils were not having an
explicit buildInput for zlib. Due to that, we ended up with stdenv
(gcc-wrapper) depending on bootstrap-tools as runtime dependency.

needed for the fuloong minipc. It was not enough having the loongson2f patches;
only having the patches, we got troubles building cups with a segfault on the
dynamic loader running their 'genstrings' program. And if sysvinit needs newer
binutils (I can't remember why, but I wrote it in the all-packages.nix before),
then let's use the snapshot.
As a note about "why this snapshot" (civodul was interested), when I knew that
we needed an unreleased version of binutils I went to download the snapshot of
the day. And it worked. This is all the story.

$out/<platform>/bin. Because the fixup phase causes those to be
replaced by identical copies, use symlinks instead of hardlinks.
This saves about 9 MB.

My idea is to provide special stdenv expressions that will contain in the path
additional cross compilers. As most expressions for programs accept a stdenv parameter,
we could substitute this parameter with the special stdenv, which will have a
generic builder that attempts the usual "--target=..." and can additionally
have an env variable like "cross" with the target architecture set.
So, finally we could have additional expressions like this:
bashRealArm = makeOverridable (import ../shells/bash) {
inherit fetchurl bison;
stdenv = stdenvCross "armv5tel-unknown-linux-gnueabi";
};
Meanwhile it does not work - I still cannot get the cross-gcc to build.
I think it does not fill the previous expressions with a lot of noise, so I
think it may be a good path to follow.
I only touched some files of the current stdenv: gcc-4.3, kernel headers
2.6.28, glibc 2.9, ...
I tried to use the gcc-cross-wrapper, that may be very outdated. Maybe I will
update it, or update the gcc-wrapper expression to make it fit the cross tools,
but meanwhile I even cannot build gcc, so I have not tested the wrapper.
This new idea on cross compiling is not similar to that of the
nixpkgs/branches/cross-compilation, which mostly added bare new expressions for
anything to be cross compiled, if I understood it correctly.
I cared not to break anything of the usual stdenv in all this work.

This comes from:
svn diff ^/nixpkgs/trunk/@18255 ^/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/ > diff
patch -p0 < diff
and then adding into svn all files new from the patch.
trunk@18255 comes from the last time I updated stdenv-updates from trunk.
