5e25253768 * Dietlibc tar doesn't work on x86_64, use one statically linked with
glibc.
* Doh!  $tar/bin/tar should have been $gnutar/bin/tar, so we copied
  /bin/tar!

0cf5154681 * Build a static GCC, properly. (Reminder: when building GCC on an
impure x86_64 environment, make sure that the 32-bit GCC / Glibc
  libraries are installed, such as /usr/lib/crti.o.)

8298be4ccf * Statically linked binaries for the stdenv-linux bootstrap on
x86_64.  Glibc doens't build yet, though (it needs libgcc_eh, which
  is strangely missing from the static GCC build).

84dd812f33 Finally, the new stdenv-linux.
* The statically linked bootstrap tools are now automatically
  reproducable, just do:

  $ nix-build ./make-bootstrap-tools.nix

  The resulting binaries in result/in-nixpkgs go to
  stdenv/linux/bootstrap/<platform>/, and the tarballs in
  result/on-server go to
  https://svn.cs.uu.nl:12443/repos/trace/tarballs/trunk/stdenv-linux/<platform>/<revision>/.
  These are checked out on nix.cs.uu.nl under http://.../dist/tarballs.

* The statically linked libraries all use dietlibc now (except
  patchelf and glibc), so they are much smaller.  This is especially
  nice for the tools in the Nixpkgs tree, since it makes Nixpkgs
  tarballs smaller.

* Use Binutils 2.17 and GCC 4.1.1 for the bootstrap.

* The stdenv is now based on Glibc 2.5.  I hope it works ;-)
