Tuomas Tynkkynen ce56c99edc mkDerivation: Don't pass buildInputs to stdenv builder in nativeBuildInputs
When not cross compiling, nativeBuildInputs and buildInputs have
identical behaviour. Currently that is implemented by having
mkDerivation do a concatenation of those variables in Nix code and pass
that to the builder via the nativeBuildInputs attribute.

However, that has some annoying side effects, like `foo.buildInputs`
evaluating to `[ ]` even if buildInputs were specified in the nix
expression for foo.

Instead, pass buildInputs and nativeBuildInputs in separate variables as
usual, and move the logic of cross compilation vs. native compilation to
the stdenv builder script. This is probably a tiny bit uglier but
fixes the previous problem.

Issue #4855.

Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:

% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git

For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-16.09 for the latest release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:

% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-16.09

For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.

NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside nixos/ folder.
