gcc: enable stripping for cross-compilers

Sergei Trofimovich 0f45ce6e77 setup-hooks/strip.sh: add strip{All,Debug}ListTarget variables
This change mimics existing strip{All,Debug}List variables to
allow special stripping directories just for Target.

The primary use case in mind is gcc where package has to install
both host and target ELFs. They have to be stripped by their own
strip tools accordingly.

Artturin ba1efa71ae stdenv: substituteInPlace: accept multiple filenames
I don't know if getopt is available everywhere, so I did not use it.

in any case, it can be changed to use getopt in the future if
needed.

Valentin Gagarin 311d322feb docs: sync patchShebangs comments with manual
this is not an actual sync, but rather the manual taking the leading role.
right now it does not make sense to actually change `patch-shebangs.sh`
as that would cause a rebuild of the entire universe.

we should figure out how to keep them aligned with minimal effort both
in terms of maintenance as well as navigation for readers.

Samuel Ainsworth a7fc2f6392 autoPatchelfHook: more precise dependency ignorance 2022-04-11 01:28:55 +00:00
Adam Joseph c9d66a7fff cross-compilation.chapter.md: give examples of all depFooBar cases
This commit describes the "->" notation for dependency types in
greater detail, and uses g++ to provide examples of all six cases
(although the host->target and target->target examples are a bit
artificial).

It also adds three more rows to the table for the "->*" dependency
types for non-compiler-like packages; these dependency types were
already present in the documentation but the "*" was not really
explained.

Lastly, this commit adds a hyperlink to the table from the place where
it is mentioned in the "specifying dependencies" chapter.

Phases are cool, I get it, but the reader will enjoy it when they

it.

nixpkgs-docs: when to prefer passthru.tests over installCheckPhase
And mention you can have either lightweight 'package' or
more heavyweight 'NixOS' (module) tests.

This was suggested at
https://github.com/ryantm/nixpkgs-update/issues/260#issuecomment-821287971

Niklas Hambüchen 7cfaba911d manual: Hardening: Remove now-nonexistent ArchWiki link.
The page has been replaced by the much more general page
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Security#Packages

Niklas Hambüchen ac36a0f9eb manual: hardening: Fix disabled flags prose being in previous section
This confused the hell out of me, as I didn't spot the

> The following flags are disabled by default ...

when reading about `pie`, because that sentence was hidden in the
previous hardening flag's section.

Also explain that `pie` hardening is on by default on musl.
