The newlib configury uses `host` to refer to the platform which is being used to compile newlib. Ugh. It does this because of its history: newlib used to be distributed with and built as part of gcc. To prevent nixpkgs from going insane, this package presents the "normal" view to the outside world: the binaries in $out will execute on `stdenv.hostPlatform`. We then fool newlib's build process into doing the right thing.

Description of changes
The newlib configury uses
hostto refer to the platform which isbeing used to compile newlib. Ugh. It does this because of its
history: newlib used to be distributed with and built as part of
gcc.
To prevent nixpkgs from going insane, this package presents the
"normal" view to the outside world: the binaries in $out will
execute on
stdenv.hostPlatform. We then fool newlib's buildprocess into doing the right thing.
