Mingw(32) is rather poorly maintaned and has quite a lot of bugs. And
because our Windows cross builds were also poorly maintained and most of
the cross-tests were broken as well, I'm just taking this step and try
to switch to mingw-w64 for everything "cross Windows".

The gcc version used on Darwin crashes while compiling the C++ interface
of PCRE. Building that code with -O0 avoids the crash.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=24107
The gcc version used on Darwin fails to compile the C++ interface to the PCRE
library when optimizations are enabled. Building C++ code with -O0 remedies the
problem. This is unsatisfactory, though, because the resulting library is
likely to perform more poorly than it would if built with -O2 or -O3.

Version 7.4 of libpcre is no longer available for download at the
specified location, so I updated to version 7.8, which is the latest
one.

* GCC 4.2: restore the ability to build a statically linked compiler,
needed for the Nixpkgs bootstrap.
* GCC 4.2: use symlinks instead of hard links in $out/bin
(NIXPKGS-62).
svn path=/nixpkgs/branches/stdenv-updates/; revision=9771
* GCC 3.4.5.
* Updated several other stdenv packages.
* Modified the builders of several packages to use the generic
builder.
svn path=/nixpkgs/trunk/; revision=4336
* Make builders unexecutable by removing the hash-bang line and
execute permission.
* Convert calls to `derivation' to `mkDerivation'.
* Remove `system' and `stdenv' attributes from calls to
`mkDerivation'. These transformations were all done automatically,
so it is quite possible I broke stuff.
* Put the `mkDerivation' function in stdenv/generic.

builders for typical Autoconf-style to be much shorten, e.g.,
. $stdenv/setup
genericBuild
The generic builder does lots of stuff automatically:
- Unpacks source archives specified by $src or $srcs (it knows about
gzip, bzip2, tar, zip, and unpacked source trees).
- Determines the source tree.
- Applies patches specified by $patches.
- Fixes libtool not to search for libraries in /lib etc.
- Runs `configure'.
- Runs `make'.
- Runs `make install'.
- Strips debug information from static libraries.
- Writes nested log information (in the format accepted by
`log2xml').
There are also lots of hooks and variables to customise the generic
builder. See `stdenv/generic/docs.txt'.
* Adapted the base packages (i.e., the ones used by stdenv) to use the
generic builder.
* We now use `curl' instead of `wget' to download files in `fetchurl'.
* Neither `curl' nor `wget' are part of stdenv. We shouldn't
encourage people to download stuff in builders (impure!).
* Updated some packages.
* `buildinputs' is now `buildInputs' (but the old name also works).
* `findInputs' in the setup script now prevents inputs from being
processed multiple times (which could happen, e.g., if an input was
a propagated input of several other inputs; this caused the size
variables like $PATH to blow up exponentially in the worst case).
* Patched GNU Make to write nested log information in the format
accepted by `log2xml'. Also, prior to writing the build command,
Make now writes a line `building X' to indicate what is being
built. This is unfortunately often obscured by the gigantic tool
invocations in many Makefiles. The actual build commands are marked
`unimportant' so that they don't clutter pages generated by
`log2html'.
