I introduce the new nixpkgs parameter "platform", defaulting to "pc",
which was before defined as an attribute of nixpkgs.
I made the crossSystem nixpkgs attribute set parameter contain its own 'platform'.
This allows cross-building a kernel for a given crossSystem.platform in a non-PC
platform.
The actual native platform can be taken from stdenv.platform, and this way we also
avoid the constant passing of 'platform' to packages for platform-dependant builds
(kernel, initrd, ...).
I will update nixos accordingly to these changes, for non-PC platforms to work.
I think we are gaining on flexibility and clearness. I could cross build succesfully
an ultrasparc kernel and a mipsel kernel on PC. But since this change, I should be able
to do this also in non-PC.
Before this change, there was no possibility of distinguishing the "target platform" or
the "native build platform" when cross building, being the single "platform" attribute
always interpreted as target platform.
The platform is a quite relevant attribute set, as it determines the linuxHeaders used
(in the case, by now the only one supported, of linux targets).
The platform attributes are quite linux centric still. Let's hope for more generality to come.

because it makes linking very slow. Use bash's =~ operator instead
(and only once for each argument). We depend on bash already anyway
because of arrays so it's not a problem.

something'.
It should not link at least for '-x c-header' and '-x c++-header', and maybe
link for '-x c' or '-x c++', but we expect noone will be linking using these
later strings.
Adding opencv, which required '-x c-header' working, and that's why I have
updated gcc wrapper.

I fixed conflicts regarding the renaming 'kernel' -> 'linux' in all-packages.
Also a small conflict in all-packages about making openssl overridable.
And I some linux 2.6.31-zen kernel files also marked in conflict.

ghdl-wrapper.
I made the gcc-4.3.4 expression allow the 'vhdl' language through ghdl.
The ghdl developer recommends this gcc version; maybe it would work with
gcc-4.4. If not this ghdl version, maybe next versions.

broke the evaluation of nixpkgs.
I also tried to make the gnat wrapper friendly to any gnat installation, not
only gnatboot.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=19062
Some things don't work:
- The ghdl expression (it still needs the gcc 4.3.4 src, ...)
- The gnat wrappers need to be more generic - now they work only for the
given gnatboot (taken from gentoo) and gnats installed to their $out
store path.
- Using the cloogppl and ppl. We will need our own gnatboot built with c++
libraries for that.

sheevaplug kernel, so the kernel does not build in the sheevaplug right now.
I will try to fix that in next commits.

regexp looking for such ld arguments did not work well with "--soname=xxx.so".
Now I added the condition that the argument should not start with a hyphen, for
it to be possibly considered a .so file to link with.

Removing any reference to the gcc-wrapper2, as now the gcc-wrapper already conveys
the changes, I created gcc-wrapper2 in trunk for.

stdenv.
In this gcc-wrapper2 I made the ld-wrapper.sh to handle the linking with shared
objects through direct pass as ld command arguments of the absolute path to shared
objects, instead of using the -L/-l combinations.
cmake 'FindXXX.cmake' modules make a strong usage of the dynamic linking directly
passing the absolute path to the shared object to the linker, and as our wrapper did
not add any -rpath for those, writting the nix expressions for some cmake packages
resulted in a lot of tricks, compared to using this gcc-wrapper2.
This gcc-wrapper2/ld-wrapper.sh should become the gcc-wrapper/ld-wrapper in a
stdenv update.
I also updated some cmake expressions to use this gcc-wrapper2, and reduced its
tricks.
I also updated the cmake setup-hook for it to make cmake not touch any rpath decided
at build time, when running the 'make install' of makefiles created by cmake.
