The existing Microblaze toolchains that we have have the annoying
property of being based on a very old glibc version: 2.3.6. Xilinx
provides newer toolchains with glibc 2.14, generated by Crosstool-NG,
but they are only available as part of a huge Git repository that
contains the gcc, Linux, binutils, glibc sources unpacked (4.4 GB
total), which makes is very unpractical.
I contacted the Xilinx person who did those toolchains, but they
apparently didn't intend to change that anytime soon.
So, we have created a tarball for those toolchains, adding a
README.txt file in the tarball that points back to the original
location that contains the source code for them. Those tarballs are
hosted on sources.buildroot.net.
This commit then adds support for those two new external toolchains,
one for little endian Microblaze, another one for big endian
Microblaze.

The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.
This only works for a downloaded external toolchain. For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory). For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-February/050371.html
for information about others things to do to make the host directory
relocatable.

Remove the old 2010RC1 toolchain and add the new 2012R2-RC2 toolchain.
On related good news the new toolchain fixes:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/eac5bd4f4766d98431e72a3c81492a962c85fa98/
since it's got unshare() support now.

Thus, the failing step can be easily extracted by autobuilders,
to ease with post-mortem analysis.

The BR2_INET_RPC has for a long time been a not very descriptive
configuration option name, and with the advent of non-RPC glibc
toolchains and the apparition of libtirpc, we really need to rename it
to something more sensible, BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC.

This patch adds the possibility to download a custom external
toolchain, in addition to the existing support of preinstalled custom
external toolchains.
With the modified configuration, the user is presented with the
following options:
- Toolchain type: Buildroot toolchain | External toolchain | Ct-ng toolchain
In case of External toolchain:
- Toolchain: the CodeSourcery toolchains | Custom toolchain
- Toolchain origin: Toolchain to be downloaded and installed | Pre-installed toolchain
In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path
For CodeSourcery toolchains, the toolchain URL field is not used (the
URLs are directly coded in ext-tool.mk).

SUPPORT_LIB_DIR would get resolved to the main buildroot directory for
external toolchains without C++ support, as:
- gcc -print-file-name=<nonexisting-file> returns <nonexisting-file>
- readlink -f <nonexisting-file> returns $PWD/<nonexisting-file>
So fix it by ensuring output of gcc -print-file-name actually exists
before using it.

Starting from 2012.03, the Linaro toolchains have separated the GCC
support libraries (libstdc++, libgcc_s) from the sysroot itself. So we
no longer have the case where all libraries are inside the sysroot, as
we had for all the previously supported toolchains.
Therefore, we add some logic to detect if such a separate directory is
used for GCC support libraries, and if it's the case, we make sure
that we take into account this directory when creating our own
sysroot, and when copying libraries to the target filesystem.
