When BR2_TARGET_GRUB_SPLASH is enabled, we were passing
--enable-graphics, but when it was disabled, we were not doing
anything. However, in Grub, graphics support is enabled by default,
and you have to pass --disable-graphics to disable it.
Fix this by passing --enable-graphics or --disable-graphics as
appropriate.

In 1cece2813b (grub: add option to
configure the list of supported filesystems), we introduced the
BR2_TARGET_GRUB_FS_SUPPORT option which allows to provide a
space-separated list of filesystems that Grub should support.
However, it turns out that this not very practical, because the
iso9660 filesystem logic in Buildroot should force the ISO9660 support
to be enabled in Grub, which is not easy to do with a string option.
Therefore, this patch changes this option from a string option to a
list of boolean option, one per filesystem supported.
A few useful details:
- Since Grub legacy is dead, the list of filesystem, and therefore
the number of options, will not grow.
- We have only added options for filesystems that are likely to be
used in an embedded Linux context. Filesystems such as VSTAfs,
Minix, UFS2 or FFS2 are not supported.
- There is no need to add some Config.in.legacy support for the
previous option, since it was added after Buildroot 2013.11, and
was therefore never part of an official Buildroot release.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

As reported by Matthew Weber, Grub doesn't build on 64 bits build
machines, because the host compiler produces 64 bits binaries by
default, while Grub should be built 32 bits. Therefore, this commit
passes -m32 to the Grub CFLAGS, so that 32 bits binaries are always
produced.

Grub can be configured to enable or disable the filesystems supported
in the stage 2. In addition, there are filesystem specific stage
1.5. In order to save space and build time, we provide a new option
that allows to give a space-separated list of filesystems that Grub
should support.
We default to support FAT and ext2, since most of the other
filesystems are fairly unlikely to be used.
We use this option to:
1) Pass --enable-<fs> or --disable-<fs>, which enables/disables the
support of <fs> in Grub stage 2.
2) Install only the stage 1.5 that correspond to the selected
filesystems.

This commit brings a number of improvements to the grub packaging:
* It builds grub with the host compiler, which is needed so that we
can build a 32 bits grub even if the target architecture is
x86-64. To make sure we have a host compiler capable of generating
32 bits code, grub now selects the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER
option. Building with the host compiler is done by cheating and
passing $(HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) in GRUB_CONF_ENV.
* Some additional CFLAGS are added to make sure grub builds properly
with modern compilers (-O0, --build-id=none, -fno-stack-protector).
* Removal of the GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS which were not used, since
GRUB_INSTALL_STAGING was not set to YES.
* Installation of the "grub" binary in $(HOST_DIR) instead of
$(TARGET_DIR) since it's actually used only on the host to install
grub into an image or device.
* Removal of the grub uninstall commands, since they are generally
considered useless.

Note that this new package, at91bootstrap3, is being added alongside the
existing at91bootstrap. This was suggested by Thomas Petazzoni, whose
comments on the mailing list are quoted below.
For this package, I am not sure we can do a simple version bump. Since
there is (was?) no upstream for AT91Bootstrap 1.x, many
vendors/companies had to maintain their patches on top of AT91Bootstrap
1.x. See for example
board/calao/usb-a9263/at91bootstrap-1.16-usb-a9263.patch. Therefore,
removing AT91Bootstrap 1.x from the tree will prevent those platforms
to work. I know people should upgrade, but AT91Bootstrap 3.x is quite
significantly different, so the porting effort is not that simple.
Therefore, I'm wondering whether we should kee at91bootstrap as it is,
and create a separate package at91bootstrap3 for the 3.x generation.

MXS platforms (imx23 and imx28) are relying on bootlets as their first
stage bootloaders, that can then either start a regular second stage
bootloader or directly a Linux kernel. However, the Makefile allows
only to build u-boot and linux images at the same time, which is
not very convenient as we will more likely use only one of them,
so we need to duplicate a bit what is already done so that we are able

Grub 2 has been marked BROKEN in June 2010, and nobody cared to fix it
since then.
At that time, it was marked broken because the build process needed a
Ruby interpreter available on the host, and it's really a pain that
building a bootloader needs such a thing.
I've tried to upgrade the package to Grub2 1.99-rcX, and now it does
not need a Ruby interpreter anymore, but instead requires a tool
called "autogen", which itself needs the Guile Scheme interpreter.
Since we haven't heard any complaints about Grub2 being marked broken,
and since it's such a pain to package, let's get rid of it. Of course,

address last year (http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20100412) with a
slightly different URL structure, so adjust the download URL to match.

We use 'make tools' to build a mkimage for the host if needed by the
kernel (uImage) without having u-boot configured, but that only works
since the 2010.03 release:
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot.git;a=commit;h=c7c0d542a1990
So drop the old 2009.xx versions rather than having the build break
for people.

Even when building the host tools, for some reason U-Boot tries to
execute the cross-compiler, so tell it which cross-compiler to use in
order to avoid failure such as:
/usr/bin/make -j12 -C /home/test/outputs/test-253-mini2440_defconfig/build/u-boot-custom tools
make[1]: arm-linux-gcc: Command not found

The Buildroot makefile was fetching and building the special
AT91Bootstrap of Ulf, which is not the Atmel official version. While
Ulf's variant has a better configuration/build system, the Atmel
version, as officially supported, is probably a better choice for the
future.
The Atmel version only needed a small tweak to work with EABI
toolchains.

When U-Boot is enabled and no custom patch directory has been set,
then the current test:
ifneq ($(strip $(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR)),"")
works. However, when U-Boot is not enabled, but still gets compiled
because mkimage is needed to build the kernel,
BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR is completely empty. It does not
even have quotes. So the test in fact needs to be:
ifneq ($(call qstrip,$(BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_CUSTOM_PATCH_DIR)),)

A few minor modifications of u-boot.mk is needed to support 2010.06:
- U-Boot now uses ARCH=powerpc like the kernel (instead of ARCH=ppc)
- Library files have moved, so adjust the target mkimage/fw_printenv rules
(still compatible with older versions)

The build process of grub2 breaks the compilation. It breaks with:
./configure: line 4766: syntax error near unexpected token `external'
./configure: line 4766: `AM_GNU_GETTEXT(external)'
In addition to this, it later requires Ruby. Do we really want to make
Buildroot depend on Ruby being installed on the host ? Do we really
want to build our own Ruby ? Do we even care about Grub2 ?

The bootloader being very specific to the hardware, being able to
build U-Boot from an arbitrary tarball available on the web might be
needed.
Therefore, for U-Boot, we provide two methods :
* Get a given stable version from U-Boot official FTP server
* Get an arbitrary tarball
This should hopefully satisfy most needs, without complicating too
much the U-Boot build procedure on Buildroot side.

Remove all the bootsource selection mechanism and the horribly
complicated BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_DEFAULT_ENV thing, which wanted to be
generic, but was in fact very AT91-specific.
Just keep things simple: we build U-Boot with the board configuration
file specified in BR2_TARGET_UBOOT_BOARDNAME.

To build mkimage for the host (which is needed to build an uImage of
the kernel), it is not necessary to configure U-Boot, and therefore to
have a particular board selected.
Therefore, this commit:
* Adds a verification at U-Boot configure step that a U-Boot board
name has been defined
* Sets a default U-Boot version if none has been specified, so that
even when U-Boot isn't selected but we want to build mkimage for
the host, a particular U-Boot version is picked.
* Make the host mkimage target depend only on U-Boot being
downloaded/extracted/patched, and the target mkimage/fw_printenv
targets depend on U-Boot being fully configured.
