bintools-wrapper: skip dynamic linker for static binaries #106908
Conversation
Currently we set dynamic-linker unconditionally. This breaks however some static binaries i.e. rust binaries linked against musl. There is no reason we should set an elf interpreter for static binaries hence this is skipped if `-static` or `-static-pie` is either passed to our cc or ld wrapper.

This also allows users to specify their own link loader.

Tested with glibc and musl: $ nix-build -A pkgsMusl.tests.cc-wrapper -A pkgsMusl.tests.cc-wrapper-clang -A tests.cc-wrapper -A tests.cc-wrapper-clang |

There are a few other flags from the man page like -Bstatic, -dn, and -non_shared may be relevant (I'm not sure if any of them are used in practice though)

Interesting. Do they have the same semantic.

As pointed out in #107253, (( "$link32" )) is an arithmetic expansion that returns true (status 0) if $link32 is nonzero, not if it’s zero.
