The Darwin stdenv rework conditionally sets `NIX_CC_USE_RESPONSE_FILE`
depending on the `ARG_MAX` of the build system. If it is at least 1 MiB,
the stdenv passes the arguments on the command-line (like Linux).
Otherwise, it falls back to the response file. This was done to prevent
intermitent failures with clang 16 being unable to read the response
file. Unfortunately, this breaks `gccStdenv` on older Darwin platforms.
Note: While the stdenv logic will also be reverted, this change is
needed for compatibility with clang 16.
GCC is capable of using a response file, but it does not work correctly
when the response file is a file descriptor. This can be reproduced
using the following sequence of commands:
$ nix shell nixpkgs#gcc; NIX_CC_USE_RESPONSE_FILE=1 gcc
# Linux
/nix/store/9n9gjvzci75gp2sh1c4rh626dhizqynl-binutils-2.39/bin/ld: unrecognized option '-B/nix/store/vnwdak3n1w2jjil119j65k8mw1z23p84-glibc-2.35-224/lib/'
/nix/store/9n9gjvzci75gp2sh1c4rh626dhizqynl-binutils-2.39/bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
# Darwin
ld: unknown option: -mmacosx-version-min=11.0
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Instead of using process substitution, create a temporary file and
remove it in a trap. This should also prevent the intermitent build
failures with clang 16 on older Darwin systems.
Fixes#245167
When a response file is in use, "$*" contains the response file and not
the parameters; both the linker and compiler wrappers are updated to use
the response-expanded params.
The compiler driver likes to pass parameters to the linker via a
response file, including -shared.
LLD rejects the combination of (-shared -pie), whereas other linkers
silently ignore the contradiction:
```
ld.lld: error: -shared and -pie may not be used together
```
This breaks certain configurations using LLD as a linker.
Changing `add-hardening.sh` results in a full rebuild. To avoid the
rebuild, here is a quick test case which shows the new hardening script
allows the link to succeed:
```
{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
let
# gcc silently accepts -shared -pie together, lld does not.
linker = pkgs.wrapBintoolsWith { bintools = pkgs.llvmPackages.lld; };
patchWrapper = prev: prev.overrideAttrs (final: prev: let
prevScript = builtins.match (".*(/nix/store/[a-z0-9]+-add-hardening.sh).*") prev.postFixup;
in {
postFixup = (builtins.replaceStrings prevScript ["${./new-add-hardening.sh}"] prev.postFixup);
});
in
pkgs.stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "nixpkgs-hardening-bug";
src = pkgs.writeText "src.c" "int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { return 0; }";
NIX_HARDENING_ENABLE = "pie";
unpackPhase = ":";
buildPhase = ''
$CC -c -o src.o $src
bash -x ${patchWrapper linker}/bin/ld.lld -o $out @${pkgs.writeText "responsefile" "-shared"} src.o
'';
}
```

Our gcc_multi and glibc_multi expressions merge together a
32-bit-targeted and 64-bit-targeted gcc. However they do not thread
through the passthru.libgcc from these merged gccs.
This commit corrects that.
It also extends passthru.libgcc to allow a *list* rather than just a
single outpath.
Resolves part of #221891 (at least getting it back to the error
message it gave before).
According to <https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2015-08/msg00836.html>,
all code is position-independent on Windows. Some compilers
apparently warn for -fPIC on Windows, and clang errors:
> clang-15: error: unsupported option '-fPIC' for target 'x86_64-pc-windows-msvc'
I'm guessing the check was hostPlatform instead of targetPlatform by mistake.
In https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/209870 I tried to unify the
treatment of clang and gcc in cc-wrapper as much as possible.
However it appears that I went too far.
Clang requires -isystem flags in order to be able to find gcc's
libstdc++. Gcc does not need these flags. If they are added,
gfortran will get confused:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/209870#issuecomment-1500550903
This commit deunifies the chunk of code that adds the -isystem
flags, and explains why this chunk applies only to clang.
When wrapping `clang` and using a `gccForLibs` whose `libgcc` is in
its own output (rather than the `lib` output), this commit will adds
`-L${gccForLibs.libgcc}/lib` to `cc-ldflags`.
If that flag is not added, `firefox` will fail to compile because it
invokes `clang-wrapper` with `-fuse-ld=lld` and passes `-lgcc_s` to
`lld`, but does not tell `lld` where to find `libgcc_s.so`. In that
situation, firefox will fail to link.
Without this change $target-cpp is used unwrapped and is missing
standard header search paths among other things).
Example failure:
$ nix build -f. -L pkgsStatic.netbsd.compat

cc-wrapper has essentially two separate codepaths: the `gccForLibs`
codepath, used only by non-gcc (i.e. clang) compilers, and the
"other" codepath.
This PR allows non-clang compilers to opt-in to the `gccForLibs`
codepath (off by default). To allow this, a new parameter
`ccForLibs` is exposed, since it would be extremely confusing for
gcc to be able to use `gccForLibs` but not do so by default.
