  1. c-ares: don’t set configure flags 

    These aren’t needed with dontDisableStatic

  2. stdenv: implement crossOverlays 

    crossOverlays only apply to the packages being built, not the build
packages. It is useful when you don’t care what is used to build your
packages, just what is being built. The idea relies heavily on the
cross compiling infrastructure. Using this implies that we need to
create a cross stdenv.

  3. treewide: remove static packages 

    Nixpkgs is meant to link everything dynamically. We don’t want to
expose static packages at the top level. If some package needs
statically built binaries, it should use a custom override.

  4. stdenv/adapters.nix: fixup makeStaticBinaries 

    - makeStaticBinaries don’t work on Darwin (no stable ABI!)
- Need to make sure NIX_CFLAGS_LINK appends
- isStatic is not used anymore

  5. darwin/libiconv: fix static/shared logic 

    The conditional was incorrect - postInstall script should only hsppen
when enableShared = true.

  6. zlib: clean up static/shared distincion 

    This is kind of a mess, but basically:

- static=true, shared=true means to build statically but move it to
  the static output
- static=true, shared=false means to build statically and leave it in
  the main output
- static=false, shared=true means to not build static at all

Confusingly, the old default was static=true, shared=true even though
static=false? Still can’t figure out what was meant by that.

  7. ncurses: make shared linking optinoal 

    when enableShared = false, we set --without-shared flag.

  8. top-level/stage.nix: add static overlay 

    Adds the static overlay that can be used to build Nixpkgs statically.
Can be used like:

  nix build pkgsStatic.hello

Not all packages build, as some rely on dynamic linking.
