export NIX_BINTOOLS_FLAGS="--plugin $(cat ${!nix_cc_for_role_post}/nix-support/orig-cc)/lib/gcc//14.2.1/plugin ${NIX_BINTOOLS_FLAGS-}"

I wonder if this is causing issues from being inside the bintools setup hook
Could replace cat with < and do it in-process I think

 Grimmauld (any/all) | I tried crosscompiling gnustep-base, without any luck.... seems adding --host to configure flags is what i need to do, but log suggests i have two host flags then....
I found this android crosscompiling setup which i tried to adapt: https://github.com/gnustep/tools-android/blob/master/phases/30-gnustep-base.sh
| 09:48:57 |
| Grimmauld (any/all) | but if i can't even set the host flag successfully, this is pain | 09:49:13 |
 Tristan Ross | True, I'll likely do that. | 16:29:44 |

 Randy Eckenrode | How do I use clang with a MinGW cross? The package’s CMake test for a working C compiler is trying to link libgcc. | 21:39:53 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It happens whether I try to use ld from binutils or lld. | 21:42:15 |
| Randy Eckenrode | GCC appears to be building libgcc_s_seh-1.dll, but it’s trying to link everything but that. | 21:56:54 |

Is this with glibc as well? | 22:16:58 |
| Tristan Ross | It could be that GCC -> libgcc -> glibc chain | 22:17:24 |
| Randy Eckenrode | It’s using the default libc for MinGW on Windows, which is msvcrt IIRC. | 22:21:12 |
| Randy Eckenrode | Using a regular stdenv with GCC works, but I’m trying to compile libdispatch, which requires Clang. | 22:21:30 |

| Andrew Bruce | Hey there. I'm having some fun with Klipper (3D printing server) cross compiling from x86 to aarch64. It looks a bit like a regression, since I'm getting the same error messages on latest unstable nixpkgs that have been fixed in prior PRs. | 13:41:42 |
 K900 | Cross is like that, yes | 13:42:29 |
| K900 | What is failing? | 13:42:31 |
| Andrew Bruce | I seem to be hitting this, which is still open: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/305858 | 13:42:32 |
| Andrew Bruce | Just gonna rerun without any of my overrides, one sec | 13:43:43 |
| Andrew Bruce | so I get an exec format error when attempting to build klipper with cross | 13:44:09 |

| Andrew Bruce | when I try to override that derivation to use buildPackages.python3, I get another error because the python thing in that upstream project can't find a .so | 13:46:21 |
| Andrew Bruce | I guess for now I'm wondering if binfmt emulation is the way to go to sidestep cross altogether | 13:46:58 |
| K900 | Yeah that's just broken | 13:47:02 |
| K900 | binfmt emulation is the way to go if you want to avoid cross, yes | 13:47:12 |
