Commit ba92d6ef68 made hard float the
default when Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9. The problem it was trying to fix
is that the newer Linaro toolchains (2012.05 and 2012.06) are
hard-float, so the default selection of soft-float enabled on ARM
doesn't work for those toolchains.
Unfortunately, not selecting soft-float causes problems with
the Crosstool-NG backend at the moment.
As an intermediate solution, make the soft float option disappear when
using external toolchain: the toolchain will decide by itself whether
to generate hard float or soft float code.

Instead of having two separate list of choices for select the target
architecture variant for i386 and x86_64, with many CPU choices
duplicated (because all modern x86 CPUs can be both used as i386 or
x86_64), merge them into a single list. In the x86_64 case, all the
x86 CPUs that do not support the 64 bits instruction set are hidden.

All the defconfig files used by the autobuilders that use
pre-installed external toolchains are making the assumption that the
default for a custom external toolchain is "pre-installed". We keep
this default for now, since changing it breaks the autobuilders.

Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 ARM cores are guaranteed to provide a hardware
floating point unit, so there's no reason to default to software
floating point for them.
More importantly, the newest Linaro toolchains are hard float
toolchains, so basically an user choosing those toolchains and leaving
the default option of software float would run in compilation issues.
So let's make hard float the default for Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9.

The check_glibc function verifies that the C library of the external
toolchain is glibc. To do so, it verified that a file matching
ld-linux*.so.* or ld.so.* was found in the lib/ directory of the
toolchain's sysroot. However, with the Linaro 2012.05 toolchain, the
lib/ directory contains two links named ld-linux-armhf.so.3 and
ld-linux.so.3, which means that the first ld-linux*.so.* wildcard
expression expands to two files, which generates a syntax error for
the "test" program. We replace that with a more elaborate find+wc
combination to determine whether at least one matching file is
present.
The check_arm_abi function verifies the ABI of an ARM toolchain. For
EABI, it tested that the target name ends with eabi. However, with
Linaro 2012.05, the tuple is now arm-linux-gnueabihf (for hard float),
so we have to adjust the logic to accept this additional "hf"
specification in the tuple.

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).

Decimal floats were introduced circa gcc-4.2 or -4.3, and requires
the floating-point environement fenv.h in the C library.
The uClibc .config file used by crosstool-NG to build uClibc is the
same as used by the internal buildroot mechanism, and explcitly
disables fenv support.
The quick workaround is to simply disable decimal floats in all
crosstool-NG config files.
In the long run, it might be better to check this situation, and/or
add code and/or options in crosstool-NG to handle this (but it is
much more involved, and this workaround is sane).

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.

In order to use locale support on a Linux system, you need locale data
to be present:
* on a (e)glibc based system, this data is typically in the
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive file, which can be created and
extended using the localedef program
* on an uClibc based system, the set of supported locales is defined
at build time by an uClibc configuration option.
This patch implements generating locale data for the following cases:
* Internal toolchain
* External toolchain based on (e)glibc. uClibc external toolchains
are not supported, because with uClibc, the set of supported
locales is defined at build time. CodeSourcery and Linaro
toolchains have been tested, Crosstool-NG toolchains are believed
to work properly as well.
* Toolchains built using the Crosstool-NG backend, but only (e)glibc
toolchains.
This feature was runtime tested with internal uClibc toolchain,
CodeSourcery ARM toolchain and Linaro ARM toolchain, thanks to a
simple C program that shows the data and a gettext translated message.
Note that this option differs from the "purge locales" option, which
is responsible for removing translation files and other locale stuff
installed by packages. At some point in the future, we may want to
clarify the respective roles of those options.
