libc-related gn variables

[selfisekai]

there are some gn changes needed to compile for musl. currently, dart detects musl by dart_sysroot == "alpine", but that doesn't work when simply compiling for musl on a musl host.

I've submitted this PR into flutter: https://github.com/flutter/buildroot/pull/707 - any comments? I'm hoping for a universal approach for this in dart and flutter

It is possible to select the sysroot using existing flags:

tools/build.py --no-goma --no-clang --arch=x64 --target-sysroot=x64=/ --gn-args "dart_use_tcmalloc=false" create_sdk

@rmacnak-google this does not indicate the libc we're compiling for by itself. I still need a few quickfixes like this in gn to compile on/for alpine host:

It works for me with the bootlin toolchains (on a Debian host).

$ build() { ./tools/build.py --no-goma --no-clang --gn-args=dart_use_tcmalloc=false --gn-args=dart_sysroot=\"\" --mode=release $@ create_sdk runtime ; }

@rmacnak-google here's on my machine: alpine x64 host, gclient-provided clang/gn/ninja replaced with symlinks to system ones

./tools/build.py --no-goma --no-clang --gn-args=dart_use_tcmalloc=false --gn-args=dart_sysroot=\"\" --mode=release --arch=x64 create_sdk runtime - working (well, fails later for bootstrap reasons)

not working because of invalid target provided:

1. clang - valid targets only set if dart_sysroot == "alpine": https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/90d84c849472b375e0fbb7321f800208180cd14b/build/config/compiler/BUILD.gn#L297

2. anything other than x64 or x86 with gcc (would fail no matter if cross or not) - workaround available by `--gn-args='arm64_toolchain_prefix="aarch64-linux-musl-"'` and so on for each architecture - defined by `prefix` here: https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/blob/90d84c849472b375e0fbb7321f800208180cd14b/build/toolchain/linux/BUILD.gn
