- 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.
(My OCD kicked in today...)
Remove repeated package names, capitalize first word, remove trailing
periods and move overlong descriptions to longDescription.
I also simplified some descriptions as well, when they were particularly
long or technical, often based on Arch Linux' package descriptions.
I've tried to stay away from generated expressions (and I think I
succeeded).
Some specifics worth mentioning:
* cron, has "Vixie Cron" in its description. The "Vixie" part is not
mentioned anywhere else. I kept it in a parenthesis at the end of the
description.
* ctags description started with "Exuberant Ctags ...", and the
"exuberant" part is not mentioned elsewhere. Kept it in a parenthesis
at the end of description.
* nix has the description "The Nix Deployment System". Since that
doesn't really say much what it is/does (especially after removing
the package name!), I changed that to "Powerful package manager that
makes package management reliable and reproducible" (borrowed from
nixos.org).
* Tons of "GNU Foo, Foo is a [the important bits]" descriptions
is changed to just [the important bits]. If the package name doesn't
contain GNU I don't think it's needed to say it in the description
either.
This doesn't change the default but makes gold available to packages
that might want to use it.
Required switching to the gzipped tarball for bison, as xz isn't
available in the early bootstrap.

what the new nix thinks the fuloong is.
Anyone having the old nix should use a nixpkgs previous to this change to build
the new nix. And then, with the new nix, he can use any newer nixpkgs revision.

tools (4.1.2) seems to have performance problems doing pattern
substitutions on large strings (it takes several minutes on
binutils' Makefile.in). Bash 4.2 seems to be fine.

some redundant builds (e.g., GMP was built three times).
* Updated GMP to 5.0.2.
* Updated PPL to 0.11.2.
* Remove ad hoc flags to build GCC's dependencies statically.
Instead, use the ‘makeStaticLibraries’ stdenv adapter.
* Build GMP with C++ support by default.

handling of dynamic libraries from --copy-dt-needed-entries to
--no-copy-dt-needed-entries, which breaks stuff (e.g. GCC, see
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1608471). So stick with 2.21.1 for
now.
