I think it's ok to export things which aren't wrapped. The cc-wrapper can be thought of as responsible for all of binutils and the c compiler, only wrapping those binaries which are necessary to interposition---as opposed to all binaries it thinks are relevaant. Conversely, adding the setup hook to the unwrapped compilers would be unforunate as hooks are ugly hacks and the compilers themselves take a long time to rebuild. Better to wholely separate "pure packages" from hacks.
Nixpkgs is a collection of packages for the Nix package manager. It is periodically built and tested by the hydra build daemon as so-called channels. To get channel information via git, add nixpkgs-channels as a remote:
% git remote add channels git://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs-channels.git
For stability and maximum binary package support, it is recommended to maintain
custom changes on top of one of the channels, e.g. nixos-17.03 for the latest
release and nixos-unstable for the latest successful build of master:
% git remote update channels
% git rebase channels/nixos-17.03
For pull-requests, please rebase onto nixpkgs master.
NixOS linux distribution source code is located inside
nixos/ folder.
