Excellent!

Some of them are a bit surprising. For instance, AFAICS, libgcrypt does
pass ‘-lgpg-error’ when linking (see
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/325591/log/raw>). Do you remember the
details? Could it have something to do with the magic in the GCC/ld
wrappers?

I second your request and invite you to create a branch for this!
One nitpick:
binutils = useFromStdenv "binutils"
(import ../development/tools/misc/binutils {
+ inherit fetchurl stdenv bison noSysDirs;
+ enableGold = true;
+ });
+
+ binutilsOld = (import ../development/tools/misc/binutils {
inherit fetchurl stdenv noSysDirs;
});
Instead of ‘binutilsOld’ and ‘gccOld’, which aren’t very descriptive,
how about ‘binutilsGold’ and ‘gccGold’?
Thanks,
Ludo’.
