Cross-compiling stuff against Mac OS X's CoreFoundation won't work
without ObjC support, and we don't want to compile commandline utilities
only, right?

Let's finally hook everything into the existing cross-building
infrastructure. We're using --with-sysroot instead of --with-headers
here, because the XCode SDK contains references to /usr/lib.
I've tried to patch those references, but unfortunately (at least with
install_name_tool) it isn't possible to change those refernces in stub
dylibs.
So after bugging @tpoechtrager with annoying questions (thanks again), I
think my initial approach (patching the SDK itself and/or regenerating
the dylib stubs) was way to complicated so I ended up with this
implementation.
Also, I've added a condition to binutilsCross to use cctools if the libc
is set to libSystem. This might need some cleanups someday, mainly to
figure out how to properly bridge cctools and binutils.
So, as an example on how to cross-compile GNU Hello to Darwin, you can
use something like this:
(import <nixpkgs> {
crossSystem = {
config = "x86_64-apple-darwin13";
arch = "x86_64";
libc = "libSystem";
platform = {};
};
}).hello.crossDrv

This removes the need for hacks like stdenv.regenerate. It also
ensures that overrideGCC is now stackable (so ‘stdenv = useGoldLinker
clangStdenv’ works).
HotSpot uses the absolute path of libjvm.so to determine the java.home
property (ignoring $JAVA_HOME), which is in turn used by
ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() to load tools.jar. So we need to
do some trickery to ensure that if java gets invoked from the jdk
output (ratherthan the jre output), it finds libjvm.so in the jdk output.
It sucks, I know, but GHC just doesn't compile reliably when built with
some -j<n> option. :-( We have build errors because of apparent race
conditions all over the place on Hydra. This causes so much trouble for
users that it's not worth keeping this option enabled, IMHO.
