Cherry-pick of #7483.
Explanation: Behavior of
--toolchain
regressed in https://github.com/apple/swift-package-manager/pull/7296/files by preferring the first match in toolset root paths: whenswiftc
is available in the same directory next to the SwiftPM binary being invoked, that became preferred with--toolchain
value ignored.Scope: limited to cross-compilation and infrequent builds that utilize this option.
Risk: low due to limited scope, merged to
main
for a week with no regressions discovered.Testing: A newly added test verifies that the behavior is fixed. For that we had to inject
FileSystem
andEnvironmentVariables
in a lot more places, with an added benefit of making our tests more consistent and isolated from an arbitrary build environment.Issue: rdar://126095653
