gnu: tzdata: Fix cross-compilation.

Reported by John Darrington <john@darrington.wattle.id.au>.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (tzdata): Use the 'source' keyword argument in
  phases rather than the "source" input.  This fixes cross-compilation.

gnu: Synchronize descriptions with 'gnumaint'.

gnu: {binutils,bash,gnu-make}-final are private.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (binutils-final, bash-final, gnu-make-final):
  Use 'define', not 'define-public'.

Merge branch 'master' into core-updates

Conflicts:
	guix/packages.scm

gnu: hello: Upgrade to 2.9.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (hello): Upgrade to 2.9.  Remove 'arguments' and
  'inputs' fields, which were never needed.

gnu: tar: Upgrade to 1.27.1.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (tar): Upgrade to 1.27.1.

gnu: glibc: Really disable 'ldconfig' and /etc/ld.so.cache.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (glibc): Add 'snippet' to set use_ldconfig=no.
  Remove "glibc-no-ld-so-cache.patch"; that patch would still build
  'ldconfig', and ld.so would still contain ld.so.cache-related code,
  and would look for info in /etc/etc/ld.so.cache (sic).
* gnu/packages/patches/glibc-no-ld-so-cache.patch: Remove.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Adjust accordingly.

gnu: Switch to GCC 4.8 as the default compiler.

* build-aux/download.scm (file-name->uri): Update URL to /20131110.
* gnu-system.am (nodist_bootstrap_x86_64_linux_DATA,
  nodist_bootstrap_i686_linux_DATA): Change base name to

  hash.

  add a few --disable flags.  Remove MPFR workaround.
  (cross-gcc-wrapper): Base upon GCC-4.8.  Wrap both 'gcc' and 'g++'.
  (libstdc++): New variable.
  (gcc-final): Add it as an input; pass corresponding -I and -L flags.

  _SPEC macros.

gnu: binutils: apply fixes and workarounds for Loongson 2F CPUs.

* gnu/packages/patches/binutils-loongson-madd-fix.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/patches/binutils-loongson-workaround.patch: New file.
* gnu/packages/base.scm (binutils): Add patches.
* gnu-system.am (dist_patch_DATA): Add patches.

gnu: Revert to GCC 4.7 as the default compiler.

GCC 4.8 relies on C++ headers (<cstring>, <iosfwd>, etc.) that are
missing from the current bootstrap GCC.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (gcc-boot0, cross-gcc-wrapper, gcc-final): Base
  on GCC-4.7.  This reverts part of commit 9ae7cee.
