which was deprecated in 2018 and is now gone for good. I guess many
won’t notice because the nix-cache kept the files around?
This fetches the patches from github. Unfortunately it seems that the
sha256 hashes (calculated with `nix-prefetch-url`) have been modified.
Alternatively, if someone has the old patches around they could arguably
be added to `tarballs.nixos.org` (it seems they are not there right
now).
This allows our GHCs to build programs with DWARF debug information
when -g is passed, see https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/DWARF.
Compiling with debug symbols is off by default until GHC ticket #15960
(Using -g causes differences in generated core) is fixed.
gold is known to speed up GHC builds considerably, saving up to many seconds
when linking large Haskell applications, so this patch configures all
non-binary GHC derivations to use gold.
To test this I built a version of the compiler with `dontStrip = True`
and the vanilla version. The size of the result is both 1.4gb which
indicates that the stripping doesn't do anything meaningful.
Not stripping means that the debug rts is properly packages as it
contains DWARF information and unused debugging symbols.
Fixes#63511
`pkgsBuildTarget` allows us to avoid repeated and confusing conditions.
The others merely provide clarity for one the foreign package set's
target platform matters.
