Eelco Dolstra fa5a119fcd * Perl 5.10.1.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 2b580b9846 Updating the perl-5.10 expression to support the bootstrapping stdenv better
- I still have not understood why it worked without this fix before, and I think
this has been triggered by the gcc-4.4, but I have not investigated this much. I
went with the trivial fix.

Adding a glibc-2.10.1 expression, because the glibc-2.11 still does not have
a ports release, so it cannot be used in arm. I'm using it only in native
compilation by now.

Making the default glibc to be 2.10 instead of 2.11 in armv5tel-linux.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell 4b27d28701 Porting changes from stdenv-updates into this branch.
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.

Peter Simons 1e575d3572 perl-5.8 and perl-5.10: fixed build on MacOS X
On MacOS X, we used to use the native perl interpreter from /usr/bin.
Unfortunately, that interpreter fails to build a number of packages
(Subversion, Git, etc. ...), because it assumes knowledge about the
underlying C compiler that is not valid for the compiler used by Nix.
For example, /usr/bin/perl assumes that the compiler can build binaries
for both the ppc and the x86 architecture. /usr/bin/gcc can do that, but
the gcc from Nix can't.

The solution is to compile Perl 5.10 in Nix so that the ./configure
phase can properly detect the system's capabilities. However, note that
the resulting binary is impure: it will find headers in /usr/include and
libraries in /usr/lib. In this respect, the Nix-compiled perl binary is
no different than the native one in /usr/bin -- it's just configured
more accurately.

The solution is to compile Perl 5.10 via Nix so that it can properly configure
itself. However, note that the resulting binary is impure: it will find headers
in /usr/include and libraries in /usr/lib -- something a pure perl binary
wouldn't do. In this respect our Nix-compiled perl binary is not better than
the native one from /usr/bin -- it's just more accurately configured.

Lluís Batlle i Rossell d4aedd92cc I revert my changes to get nixpkgs working on armv5tel-linux.
I thought I didn't change stdenv, but I did. This will go soon into the stdenv
branch then.
Reverse-merging r16467 through r16465.

Eelco Dolstra 7e4dcb6c2b * Urgh. Perl is built during the stdenv bootstrap, where we don't
have libpthread.  So don't build with thread support there.

Eelco Dolstra a98d8aee74 * Install Perl modules in $out/lib/perl5. This is what Perl wants by
default, but it didn't happen in Nixpkgs because the string "perl"
  appeared in the prefix, and in that case Perl uses $out/lib.
* Enable thread-safe Perl while we're at it.

Eelco Dolstra 6b9ccbaf78 * setup.sh: turn on nullglob globally.
* setup.sh: removed some obsolete features, specifically some that
  were only used by the old build farm.
* addToSearchPath: removed some parameters that weren't used
  anywhere.
