Lluís Batlle i Rossell f3c23487a2 Adding a new version of the gcc-wrapper, named gcc-wrapper2, in order not to rebuild
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.

To be removed after we merge stdenv-updates in.
stdenv-updates should have this gcc-wrapper2 as gcc-wrapper.
Changelog against gcc-wrapper:
- Support for linking shared objects with direct mention of the /path/libxxx.so object,
thus, adding its path to the rpath.
