works on Red Hat Linux, i.e. that is based on glibc version 2.5.
Furthermore, this patch fixes a number of gcc 4.3.3 build errors in glibc 2.5
that occur on both x86 and x86_64. The older version of this library is still
useful for running Nix on a Red Hat host. Newer version of glibc fail to detect
the kernel's capabilities correctly (due to mad patches applied to the kernel
by Red Hat).
The individual changes are:
* Re-activated glibc 2.5 in all-packages.nix.
* Fix incomplete header search path in bootstrap tools.
Gcc-wrapper sets "-B<prefix>" to tell the compiler about its installation
root. Unfortunately, the setting doesn't add $gcc/lib/gcc/*/*/include-fixed
to the search path. That directory is required, however, because it contains
the system-specific "limits.h" file, and the glibc 2.5 builds tries to find
that file via #include_next.
* Support intrinsic functions like __signbit() or atof() correctly to avoid
compile-time conflicts.
* Switch to NPTL. Linuxthreads is no longer supported.
* Added a meta attribute to glibc package.
* Updated nixUnstable to version 0.13pre15614 from trunk. The previous version
failed regression tests.
* Fix more strict type checking in binutils since 2.18.50.0.3.
Without this patch, the build failed on x86, saying:
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/ftestexcept.c: Assembler messages:
../sysdeps/i386/fpu/ftestexcept.c:33: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `fnstsw'

* Added dsymutil to gcc wrapper env on darwin
* turned off make check for gnugrep on darwin
* added --enable-bsd=libs configure flag for gnugrep on darwin
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=16014
in the Nix expression evaluator (namely that comparison of attribute
sets works properly).
* Removed some redundant parentheses in builder-defs.

modules for the initial ramdisk if there were no additional kernel
module packages (such as the NVIDIA driver or AUFS), leading to a
kernel panic in the initrd. This was because in that case modprobe
would print paths referring to the kernel path rather than the
module aggregation path, and then `sed "s^$kernel^$out^"' would
silently fail. Fixed.
* Also, use depmod here rather than doing sed hackery on modules.dep.
* Also, `allowMissing' was broken (missing "$" before the variable
name).

builders. These are redundant now.
* Inlined some trivial builders.
* Removed a few explicit setup-hook creations. This is done
automatically now if setupHook is set.
* Deleted the initscripts package. NixOS doesn't use it anymore.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=15276
* 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.

otherwise aclocal barfs. Updated the builder to use makeWrapper
* Made Automake 1.10 the default.
* Fixed `make check' in Automake by turning off indented logging in
Make (there is a flag for that now).
* Disabled the `make check' in Automake by default because it takes a
REALLY long time (e.g. more than 2 hours on Cygwin, 50 minutes on
Darwin, 25 minutes on Linux) which is a lot for a package that
otherwise takes 10 seconds to build. We can add a Hydra job with
doCheck enabled to do regression testing.
* make-wrapper: allow --run commands to add additional flags to the
invocation of the wrapped program. An example is the aclocal
wrapper: it adds additional -I ... flags.
* make-wrapper: call the wrapped program .foo-wrapped instead of
.wrapped-foo to make it easier to tell programs apart in `ps'
output.
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=14885
* Added a function binaryTarball to do a DESTDIR build into
/usr/local. Useful for making statically linked binaries. However,
it may be better to do this in a VM (since if you do it in a Nix
build environment, you can still end up with a lot of Nix
dependencies in your binaries, even if you do static linking).
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=14726
instead of "gcc-4.3.3". This fixed the long-standing annoyance that
you can't distinguish the two in (say) nix-store -qR.
* On x86_64-linux, put $out/lib64 in the RPATH in addition to
$out/lib, because some packages (in particular GCC) put libraries in
$out/lib64 and ended up linking against the wrong library.
* Strip $out/lib64.
* Removed g77_42 because it's exactly the same as gfortran.

"*.tar.bz2 *.tar.gz" and there are no *.tar.gz files. Maybe we
should turn this on in stdenv (nullglob just seems like the right
thing to do in general).
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=14606
of Hydra builds more distinct (e.g. "patchelf-build-0.5pre1234"
instead of just "patchelf-build"). If the version isn't known,
append at least the revision.
* Propagate the release name of the source tarball to Nix builds.
Useful to provide sensible package names in channels.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=14294
* Create some device nodes in the RPM/Deb disk images, since modern
distributions may not provide any device nodes (they're all
generated by udev).

will fail because /etc/login.defs is missing. This also fixes the
Ubuntu 8.10 image generation, woohoo!

* Put the Glibc linker flags in front of the GCC linker flags. Needed
for the stdenv-linux bootstrap.

should fix previous problems with GCC 4.3 in compiling C++ code
where e.g. <cassert> has to appear before <assert.h> in the search
path due to the former's use of #include_next. The previous "fix"
broke compilation of C code by placing the C++ include directory
before the Glibc include directory (which would barf on
e.g. <complex.h>, which appears in both).
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=13806
* checkinstall: get rid of the RUNPATH in the LD_PRELOAD library so
that it works with native Glibc (e.g. in VM builds).
* debBuild: use our own checkinstall. In particular this allows us to
build Debs on x86_64.

we run into trouble on Fedora 10 (RPM 4.6), where the default is no
longer /usr/src/something but $HOME/something.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=13466
by Pjotr Prins a while back. This could also be used to generate
RPMs for packages that don't have a spec-file.
* Added checkinstall to Nixpkgs. However we don't use our own build
yet because with it "make install" segfaults in a Debian VM, while
the pre-built binary does work.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=13400
(e.g. making source tarballs, doing coverage analysis) to the
Nixpkgs tree. This makes it easier to run build farm jobs locally
since you don't need to check out the "release" tree separately.
Also it means one less input to declare for build farm jobs.
* Removed succeedOnFailure and separate logging of phases. Hydra
doesn't need that.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=13388
* Updated Debian 4.0 to r4a. Dropped the revision ("r3", "r4a") from
the attribute name since Debian doesn't seem to keep old revisions
available anyway.

* vmtools: use KVM 74 and Linux 2.6.26, and use virtio for networking
/ disk access.

fetchurl instantiations, instead of passing the mirrors to fetchurl
instantiations via environment variables. This makes the resulting
store derivations (.drv files) much smaller, which in turn makes
nix-env/nix-instantiate faster (4.8 -> 4.2 seconds on nix-env -qa
--out-path).

* An attribute `stdenv_32bit' that returns a stdenv capable of
building 32-bit binaries.

libstdc++ headers in the header search path, otherwise libstdc++'s
use of #include_next to include Glibc headers breaks.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=12195
* rss-glx: fixed the build.
* Removed the OpenGL wrapper stuff, it's no longer needed (thanks to
the RUNPATH you just need to put the appropriate libGL.so in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

image (i.e., it can contain any OS that obeys the interface
documented in the comment). See `testFreeBSD' for an example that
performs a build of the ATerm library on FreeBSD 7.0. This will be
used in the build farm to perform builds for platforms for which we
cannot synthesize VM images automatically.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=11753
* In addition to the `diskImages' set, there now is a `diskImageFuns'
set that holds functions to build a disk image for a specific
distribution, given a list of names of top-level packages that
should be included in the image. This makes it easier to customise
an image (e.g. if you want to build an RPM in an image with some
very specific dependencies that aren't in the default image).
* Added Fedora 6.
