Avoid parsing cross-linklet optimization information until it is
needed. This change also avoids a problem with saving hash codes
that are platform-specific.
Insteda of just consulting `lib-search-dirs` in the host system's
config during cross-build mode, use `lib-dir` if set to arrive at
the expected default when `lib-search-dirs` is not set.
Handle not-this-platform paths that manage to evade the heuristics for
converting paths to and from relative form. Otherwise, building can go
wrong on on Windows when using machine-independent starting files
generated on Unix-like systems.
The `--error-out` and `--error-in` flags are meant to work together to
chain a sequence of `raco setup` steps where one of them might fail,
but other steps should proceed. The last step in that sequence should
use only `--error-in`, so that it exits with failure if any of the
steps failed.
The `both` target of the toplevel makefile uses `--error-out` and
`--error-in` to let a Racket CS build proceed as long as the
traditional Racket build made it to the last `raco setup` step, which
means that it survives package-build errors.
The Chez Scheme fasl format is not machine-independent when record
types are involved, so use the process that serves compilation to also
serve fasl encoding.
In parallel build mode, if attempting to compile a file triggers a
cycle error that is caught and discarded, don't leave behind a
dependency (that is effectively resolved by the error) in the
parallel-worker manager.
It doesn't do anything, but make it a conforming variant of the
identity function. Also, fill in checking for `compile-linklet`,
and correction documentation errors for `compile-linklet` and
`recompile-linklet`.
Makefile and configure refinements, including targets to let the
distro-build package drive a cross-build from scratch. A cross
build on Mac OS for Windows now works, for example.
The intent was never for the data argument to be optional, but a
mistake in traditional Racket's argument dispatch for `log-message`
made it optional in some cases, so the simplest way forward is to make
it consistently optional. Repair traditional Racket to use `#f`
instead of a random value when the data argument is not provided.
Add options to load a "plug-in" cross compiler, which should be a Chez
Scheme patch file plus declarations for the built-in libraries. Since
loading a patch file replaces the initial compiler, a separate
cross-compiler process is used to load the plug-in.
