I guess we don’t have the exact bsdmake Apple expects?

We don’t because I deleted it and replaced it with bmake, which is the portable BSD make from NetBSD.

This is missing the preBuild/postBuild hooks. Is there a way to just put the bmake stuff in postBuild, or maybe we can make the hooks compose better somehow?

ninjaBuildPhase and bmakeBuildPhase run the hooks. Putting bmakeBuildPhase in postBuild causes it to go into an infinite loop. I want the flag handling of both hooks without their invoking preBuild and postBuild hooks, but there’s no way to do that currently.

Actually, why don’t we just split this locale stuff back into its own package? This clearly just wants a nativeBuildInputs = [ darwin.adv_cmds ];, we’re having to compose two separate build systems in one derivation, and one of them goes to a different output anyway. I think it would be a lot nicer to just have a separate package for the locale data.

It’s not unusual for a package that needs to generate some data to have special handling for cross-compilation (e.g., ICU and ncurses). I can move it to a passthru derivation, so adv_cmds.locale works as it did before.

The locale data used on macOS has not been included in a source release since adv_cmds-118. Fortunately, that data can be parsed by the current version of adv_cmds. It’s a bit old, but other sources of data (such as FreeBSD) are not compatible enough and may cause divergent behavior.

This is a follow up to #346043 to add the missing locale data. It’s not exactly the same as the data used on macOS, but it’s close. This is being done separately in case the PR is rejected.
Replacement for #347642.
