(stdenv) on Linux. The previous 1-stage bootstrap was insufficient, because the tools in stdenv where built by native tools. For instance, the Nix bash had a reference to /lib/libncurses. This doesn't happen with a 2-stage bootstrap, since the bash built in stage 2 will be built with the gcc built in stage 1, which doesn't search in the "standard" locations. Motto: "Disparaging the boot is a bootable offense." svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=809
