`generate-config.pl' runs `make config' to generate a Linux kernel
configuration file. For each question (i.e. kernel configuration
option), unless an override is provided, it answers "m" if possible,
and otherwise uses the default answer (as determined by the default
config for the architecture). This is safer than allmodconfig,
which answers "y" everywhere it can't answer "m" and thus ends up
enabling a lot of experimental or debug options. (For this reason,
a configuration generated by allmodconfig must be carefully checked
with every new release to ensure that nothing dangerous is enabled.
The default config should be safer wrt new kernel releases.)
Overrides are specified in the `config' argument to generic.nix,
which is a string that contains lines such as `EXT2_FS_POSIX_ACL y'.
The script warns about ignored options, and aborts if `make config'
selects an answer inconsistent with the one in `config'. This
allows us to be sure that `make config' doesn't silently override
our configuration values (e.g., depending on other options, it will
set FB_TILEBLITTING to "y" even if we want it to be "n").

which deals only with a build time dependency. Let's better have hydra
build cscope (I set me as a maintainer), and prefer simpler expressions
to options on build-time dependencies.

stdenv.
In this gcc-wrapper2 I made the ld-wrapper.sh to handle the linking with shared
objects through direct pass as ld command arguments of the absolute path to shared
objects, instead of using the -L/-l combinations.
cmake 'FindXXX.cmake' modules make a strong usage of the dynamic linking directly
passing the absolute path to the shared object to the linker, and as our wrapper did
not add any -rpath for those, writting the nix expressions for some cmake packages
resulted in a lot of tricks, compared to using this gcc-wrapper2.
This gcc-wrapper2/ld-wrapper.sh should become the gcc-wrapper/ld-wrapper in a
stdenv update.
I also updated some cmake expressions to use this gcc-wrapper2, and reduced its
tricks.
I also updated the cmake setup-hook for it to make cmake not touch any rpath decided
at build time, when running the 'make install' of makefiles created by cmake.

the target libraries, as 4.3.4
I trigger the breaking build using uclibc, instead of glibc, and then the
mixture of CPP getting the build glibc headers, and CC getting the uclibc
headers, makes the problem evident.
In 4.3.4 it only affected libmudflap. In 4.4.2, it affects libmudflap and
libstdc++.
