Before the change separate-debug-info.sh did the stripping itself.
This scheme has a few problems:
1. Stripping happens only on ELF files. *.a and *.o files are skipped.
Derivations have to do it manually. Usually incorrectly
as they don't run $RANLIB (true for `glibc` and `musl`).
2. Stripping happens on all paths. Ideally only `stripDebugList` paths
should be considered.
3. Host strip is called on Target files.
This change offloads stripping logic to strip hook. This strips more
files for `glibc` and `musl`. Now we can remove most $STRIP calls
from individual derivations.

The initial intent was to strip .a and .o files, not .a.o files.
While at it expanded stripping for $lib output as well.
Without the change `libgcc.a` was not stripped and `.debug*` sections
made into final binaries. It's not a problem on it's own, but it's an
unintended side-effect. Noticed on `crystal_1_0` test failure where
`crystal` was not able to handle `dwarf-5`.
While at it allowed absolute file names to be passed to stripDebugList
and friends.
The --self-contained and --no-self-contained switches were
added to the dotnet build command starting with .NET 6.
The switch is equivalent to the setting the SelfContained
property, so we use the property for backwards compatibility.
Now the tool will only strip binaries if a strip executable is passed
via the STRIP environment variable. This is exposed via the strip
option for makeInitrdNG and the NixOS option boot.initrd.systemd.strip.
We are replicating one mechanism behind `-Z build-std`.
There isn't yet crate2nix support for this, but one can (and I do) add
the missing stdlib deps (for this feature to pick up) with overrides.
POSIX sh (and `bash`) impose a restriction on environment variable name
format and disallow hypheps in the names. Normally it's not a problem
as nothing usually tries to refer nyphenated names.
One exception is `nix develop` (https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/6848):
$ nix develop -f. gcc -L
gcc-wrapper> ...-get-env.sh: line 70: expand-response-params: bad substitution
Note that bash usually uses explicitly created `expandResponseParams`
variant of the same variable.
To work the problem around let's avoid environment variable export and move
it to `passthru` for `cc` (used ina few places) and remove it completely for
`binutils` (does not seem to be used at all).
'strip' does not normally preserve archive index in .a files.
This usually causes linking failures against static libs like:
$ nix build --no-link -f. pkgsCross.mingw32.re2c
> ...-i686-w64-mingw32-binutils-2.38/bin/i686-w64-mingw32-ld:
/nix/store/...-i686-w64-mingw32-stage-final-gcc-13.0.0-lib/i686-w64-mingw32/lib/libstdc++.dll.a:
error adding symbols: archive has no index; run ranlib to add one
We restore the index by running ranlib explicitly.
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.
The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

In some cases `$pkgs_src` can be a path. For example with `FSharp.Core` when it comes with dotnet SDK.
In these cases we need to fallback on default URL otherwise curl fails.
Without this change cross-built gcc fails to detect stack protector style:
$ nix log -f pkgs/stdenv/linux/make-bootstrap-tools-cross.nix powerpc64le.bootGCC | fgrep __stack_chk_fail
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
checking __stack_chk_fail in target C library... no
It happens because gcc treats search paths differently:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=blob;f=gcc/configure.ac;h=446747311a6aec3c810ad6aa4190f7bd383b94f7;hb=HEAD#l2458
if test x$host != x$target || test "x$TARGET_SYSTEM_ROOT" != x ||
test x$build != x$host || test "x$with_build_sysroot" != x; then
...
if test "x$with_build_sysroot" != "x"; then
target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = x; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-include"
elif test "x$with_sysroot" = xyes; then
target_header_dir="${test_exec_prefix}/${target_noncanonical}/sys-root${native_system_header_dir}"
else
target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"
fi
else
target_header_dir=${native_system_header_dir}
fi
By passing --with-build-sysroot=/ we trick cross-case to use
`target_header_dir="${with_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
which makes it equivalent to non-cross
`target_header_dir="${with_build_sysroot}${native_system_header_dir}"`
Tested the following setups:
- cross-compiler without libc headers (powerpc64le-static)
- cross-compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le-debug)
- cross-build compiler with libc headers (powerpc64le bootstrapTools)
Before the change only 2 of 3 compilers detected libc headers.
After the change all 3 compilers detected libc headers.
For darwin we silently ignore '-syslibroot //' argument as it does not
introduce impurities.
While at it dropped mingw special case for no-libc build. Before the change
we passed both '--without-headers --with-native-system-headers-dir' for
no-libc gcc-static builds. This tricked darwin builds to find sys/sdt.h
and fail inhibid_libc builds. Now all targets avoid passing native headers
for gcc-static builds.
While at it fixed correct headers passing to
--with-native-system-headers-dir= in host != target case: we were passing
host's headers where intention was to pass target's headers.
Noticed the mismatch as a build failure on pkgsCross.powernv.stdenv.cc
on darwin where `sys/sdt.h` is present in host's headers (libSystem)
but not target's headers (`glibc`).

Since 1ac53985 "*-wrapper; Switch from `infixSalt` to `suffixSalt`"
(2020) 'TARGET_' prefix (and infix) is no more. '_FOR_TARGET' suffix
is the only used suffix for target-specific tools and flags.
Use that in stip instead of always-empty variable.
this shouldn't change any binary available in the default build environment
because bintools-unwrapped is already in path ( idk where it comes from but i know because objcopy is in path but not in the wrapper )
this just makes all the binaries available under 'bintools' instead of
having to use 'bintools-unwrapped'
reduces confusion because now 'objcopy' and others will be in 'bintools'
