PPC64 supports two ABIs: ELF v1 and v2.
ELFv1 is historically what GCC and most packages expect, but this is
changing because musl outright does not work with ELFv1. So any distro
which uses musl must use ELFv2. Many other platforms are moving to ELFv2
too, such as FreeBSD (as of v13) and Gentoo (as of late 2020).
Since we use musl extensively, let's default to ELFv2.
Nix gives us the power to specify this declaratively for the entire
system, so ELFv1 is not dropped entirely. It can be specified explicitly
in the target config, e.g. "powerpc64-unknown-linux-elfv1". Otherwise the
default is "powerpc64-unknown-linux-elfv2". For musl,
"powerpc64-unknown-linux-musl" must use elfv2 internally to function.
This reverts commit ce2f74df2c.
Doubles are treated as -darwin here, to provide some consistency.
There is some ambiguity between “x86_64-darwin” and “i686-darwin”
which could refer to binaries linked between iOS simulator or real
macOS binaries. useiOSPrebuilt can be used to determine which to use,
however.
This has been not touched in 6 years. Let's remove it to cause less
problems when adding new cross-compiling infrastructure.
This also simplify gcc significantly.
Existing "mips64el" should be "mipsel".
This is just the barest minimum so that nixpkgs can recognize them as
systems - although required for building individual derivations onto
MIPS boards, it is not sufficient if you want to actually build nixos on
those targets
The old hard-coded lists are now used to test system parsing.
In the process, make an `assertTrue` in release lib for eval tests; also
use it in release-cross
