Set -no-pie for gzip on this specific platform.
The ASM fast-path makes object references without going through PLT,
which would need to be relocated. Then musl ldd tries to apply
relocations to an R-X .text section and crashes.
Format all Nix files using the officially approved formatter,
making the CI check introduced in the previous commit succeed:
nix-build ci -A fmt.check
This is the next step of the of the [implementation](https://github.com/NixOS/nixfmt/issues/153)
of the accepted [RFC 166](https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/pull/166).
This commit will lead to merge conflicts for a number of PRs,
up to an estimated ~1100 (~33%) among the PRs with activity in the past 2
months, but that should be lower than what it would be without the previous
[partial treewide format](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/322537).
Merge conflicts caused by this commit can now automatically be resolved while rebasing using the
[auto-rebase script](8616af08d9/maintainers/scripts/auto-rebase).
If you run into any problems regarding any of this, please reach out to the
[formatting team](https://nixos.org/community/teams/formatting/) by

makeWrapper is in default makeShellWrapper but sometimes it is
beneficial to switch it in overlay to makeBinaryWrapper, but gzip is
injecting shell expansion that doesn't work binary wrapper. Thus this
takes shell wrapper explicitly as a dependency now.
Prior to August 2023, any config.guess generated by autoconf will
include a hardcoded /usr/bin/uname invocation for FreeBSD on any
architecture other than arm. This clearly doesn't work under nix.
We must then update or otherwise patch each old config.guess.
This package distributes shell scripts in /bin. Its shebangs are
always patched to a /nix/store shell, but by default, they are patched to
use the stdenv's shell, which during bootstrap is build in the previous
stdenv. By using runtimeShell from the current stdenv, we can shorten the
FreeBSD bootstrap process significantly.
This adds a warning to the top of each “boot” package that reads:
Note: this package is used for bootstrapping fetchurl, and thus cannot
use fetchpatch! All mutable patches (generated by GitHub or cgit) that
are needed here should be included directly in Nixpkgs as files.
This makes it clear to maintainer that they may need to treat this
package a little differently than others. Importantly, we can’t use
fetchpatch here due to using <nix/fetchurl.nix>. To avoid having stale
hashes, we need to include patches that are subject to changing
overtime (for instance, gitweb’s patches contain a version number at
the bottom).
The main changes are in libSystem, which lost the coretls component in 10.13
and some hardening changes that quietly crash any program that uses %n in
a non-constant format string, so we've needed to patch a lot of programs that
use gnulib.
- there were many easy merge conflicts
- cc-wrapper needed nontrivial changes
Many other problems might've been created by interaction of the branches,
but stdenv and a few other packages build fine now.
