Without the change build frequently fails on `gnumake-4.4` as:
x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool: cannot delete libmsvcr120d_defs02133.o: No such file or directory
x86_64-w64-mingw32-dlltool: cannot delete libmsvcr120d_defs02134.o: No such file or directory
Pull upstream patches that fix temporary file collisions and add
missing dll dependencies.
With 0507725 "setup-hooks/strip.sh: run RANLIB on static
archives after stripping" it should now be safe to run strip
on wider range of .a files.
mingw-w64 is a good example where a reference was preserved
to gcc from intermediate stage. Enabling stripping by default
decreases `pkgsCross.mingw32` closure for 20%:
Before:
$ nix path-info -rsSh $(nix-build -A pkgsCross.mingw32.stdenv)
...
/nix/store/qzhkidff0wxhqf2gi97ng6qismzvpnbp-stdenv-linux 43.6K 1.0G
After:
$ nix path-info -rsSh $(nix-build -A pkgsCross.mingw32.stdenv)
...
/nix/store/fj4dv1n3sa3jgcb1j3nwn6njsf943n48-stdenv-linux 43.6K 792.4M
This will begin the process of breaking up the `useLLVM` monolith. That
is good in general, but I hope will be good for NetBSD and Darwin in
particular.

PR #115603 / 8ad96b7786 introduced a
syntax error by introducing an '' inside an indented string and thus a
syntax error. Was merged despite the failing ofborg check.
Fixes the evaluation of packages in pkgs/os-specific/windows that
weren't updated to include a new lib parameter after the refactor from
stdenv.lib -> lib (#109490).
I originally only intended this change to fix
`pkgsCross.mingw32.buildPackages.gcc` & `pkgsCross.mingwW64.buildPackages.gcc`
to support building wine with `mingwSupport`, but I noticed this was
an issue for all updated windows packages. Most of these other
packages fail to build for other reasons.
continuation of #109595
pkgconfig was aliased in 2018, however, it remained in
all-packages.nix due to its wide usage. This cleans
up the remaining references to pkgs.pkgsconfig and
moves the entry to aliases.nix.
python3Packages.pkgconfig remained unchanged because
it's the canonical name of the upstream package
on pypi.
Version 6.0.0 brings better Win32 API coverage and bugfixes.
It's been used in various distros long enough to be considered stable.
Latest version 7.0.0 hasn't received extensive testing yet.
