In 1d42d0acca (binutils: ensure TARGET_CONFIGURE_ARGS is taken into
consideration for subdirs), the whole BUILD_CMDS was overriden in an
attempt to ensure that the target configure args (in fact, environment
variables) are indeed passed in the environment of the build command.
However, there is no reason to override the whole command, when we can
simply specify additional environment variables, as supported by the
autotools infra.

The commit 197b5f9d1c ("package/binutils: fix loops relaxation in
xtensa gas") changed the way loop opcodes are relaxed resulting in build
failures in hand-made assembly code that has loops in sections without
.literal_position pseudo op or equivalent construct. This e.g. breaks
xtensa linux kernel build.
Fix that by adding literal position to the beginning of every section.

Loop relaxation logic in xtensa gas may produce code in which LEND
register doesn't match actual zero overhead loop end. Fix relaxation
code so that it produces a literal or a pair of const16 instructions
with associated relocation record that works correctly in the presence
of other relaxations. This fixes crash in X11 server caused by window
movement.
Loop relaxation has limited of 32K range, this fix removes this
limitation.

Binutils 2.29 and 2.30 are affected by a bug in ADR and ADRL
pseudo-instruction [1] that was fixed in Binutils 2.31 [2].
* The ADR and ADRL pseudo-instructions supported by the ARM assembler
now only set the bottom bit of the address of thumb function symbols
if the -mthumb-interwork command line option is active.
Due to this issue, we were default to binutils 2.28 for ARM Thumb. But
now that the issue has been fixed in binutils 2.31 and that this

As reported by [1], SSP support is missing in the Buildroot toolchain
for microblaze even if it's requested by selecting
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP config option.
In Buildroot, we are using libssp provided by the C library (glibc,
musl, uClibc-ng) when available. We are not using libssp from gcc.
So for a microblaze glibc based toolchain, the SSP support is enabled
unconditionally by a select BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP.
BR2_microblazeel=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_GLIBC=y
BR2_KERNEL_HEADERS_4_14=y
BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_30_X=y
BR2_GCC_VERSION_8_X=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_CXX=y
While building the toolchain, we are building host-binutils which
provide "as" (assembler) and host-gcc-initial wich provide a
minimal cross gcc (C only cross-compiler without any C library).
When SSP support is requested, gcc_cv_libc_provides_ssp=yes is
added to the make command line (see [2] for full details)
With this setting, the SSP support is requested but it's not available
in the end and the toochain build succeed.
When the microblaze toolchain is imported to Biuldroot (2018.05) as
external toolchain with BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_SSP set, the build
stop with :
"SSP support not available in this toolchain, please disable BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_SSP"
The test is doing the following command line:
echo 'void main(){}' | [...]/host/bin/microblazeel-linux-gcc.br_real -Werror -fstack-protector -x c - -o [...]/build/.br-toolchain-test.tmp
cc1: error: -fstack-protector not supported for this target [-Werror]
When we look at the gcc-final log file (config.log) we can see this
error several time when using the minimal gcc (from host-gcc-initial).
So Why the minimal gcc doesn't support SSP?
When we look at the gcc-initial log file (config.log) we can see an
error with 'as':
configure:23194: checking assembler for cfi directives
configure:23209: [...]microblazeel-buildroot-linux-gnu/bin/as -o conftest.o conftest.s >&5

.cfi_escape 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
.cfi_endproc
This is the only relevant difference compared to a nios2 toolchain where
libssp is enabled and available (nios2 is an example).
"CFI" stand for "Control Flow Integrity" and it seems that SSP support
requires CFI target support (see [3] for some explanation).
The SSP support seems to depends on CFI support, but the toolchain
infrastructure is not detailed enough to handle the CFI dependency.
The NiosII toolchains built with binutils < 2.30 are also affected by
this issue.
This patch improve the toolchain infrastructure by adding a new
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_BINUTILS_SUPPORTS_CFI blind option
Disable SSP support for microblaze entirely.
Disable SSP support for nios2 only with Binutils < 2.30.

Commit 17f352ac (package/binutils: default to 2.29 for Cortex-M targets)
made the default version 2.28 (and not 2.29!) when the target is an
arm-v7m CPU.
However, the real trigger is compilation in Thumb mode, not the fact
that the target is v7m.
The fact that it was noticed on a v7m target is because Thumb is the
only mode valid on those CPUs.
Tighten the defaults to 2.28 for Thumb and Thumb2 modes.

Commit f9cffb6af4 (binutils: replace hard-links with soft-links to fix
rpath) has a side effect that when we build for a noMMU target, elf2flt
will in turn replace some of the programs installed by binutils, with
its own wrappers.
For example, it will rename host/TUPLE/bin/ld to ld.real, and add its
own wrapper in place of the original. It does the same for
host/bin/TUPLE-ld and host/bin/TUPLE-ld.real.
However, we had already made ld a symlink to ../../bin/TUPLE-ld, so
host/TUPLE/bin/ld.real will still point to host/bin/TUPLE-ld when we
want it to point to ld.real instead...
This ultimately confuses gcc later on.
Of course, the culprit is also elf2flt, which also installs similar
hardlinks that would ultimately exhibit the same rpath issue as the
one fixed by f9cffb6af4. Note: we haven't had an issue so far with
that, because those tools installed by elf2flt only link with libz,
which is most often present on the host system. So, all seem well,
but is nonetheless broken; this will be fixed in a subsequent commit.
But back on topic. If we were to fix elf2flt with similar symlinks,
gcc still gets confused. The underlying reason for this confusion is
not entirely clear, though... It looks like something is trying to
dereference symlinks and gets confused by the result somehow...
So, in an attempt to restore some sanity in all this mess, we try to
restore the previous behaviour, we no longer use symlinks but just copy
the individual tools.
Fixes: #11031.

(cherry picked from commit 7aaabe8fc0)
Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <peter@korsgaard.com>
binutils installs its binaries both as bin/<tuple>-<tool> and as
<tuple>/bin/<tool>, and hardlinks are used to reduce disk space
consumption. This causes a problem for host-binutils with our rpath
fixing logic done by "make sdk".
Indeed, the fix-rpath script starts by fixing up the rpath of
bin/<tuple>-<tool>, and sets the RPATH to $ORIGIN/../lib/. Then
fix-rpath moves on to <tuple>/bin/<tool>, and doesn't find the library
the tool depends on, and clears the RPATH. The result is that the
binutils tool are not usable.
Note that this is only visible currently on the ARC architecture,
because on this architecture, binutils is fetched from git, which
causes host-flex to be built, and some binutils tools to use the libfl
shared library. Therefore, the binutils tools don't use just the
standard C library (which is provided by the system) but also libfl
from $(HOST_DIR)/lib, and therefore if the RPATH isn't set correctly,
those tools don't work properly.
In order to address this, this comit adds a post-install hook to
host-binutils that replaces those hard links by symbolic links. It is
worth mentioning that library loading and RPATH usage occurs *after*
resolving the symbolic links, which makes this solution work.

Now that binutils 2.29 has been introduced, and we have moved to
2.28.1 as the default version, it is time to drop support for binutils
2.26.x.

Now that binutils 2.29 has been released, it is time to move to
binutils 2.28.x as the default binutils version, instead of 2.27.

All patches from binutils 2.28 are kept, except patch
0906-microblaze-pr21180.patch, because it has been merged upstream as
of commit bd757ca7bf5886a4025ca02093fca1b8c5ce11a2. Other patches are
slightly adapted to differences that appeared in binutils 2.29.
The patches are now all Git formatted, so instead of having weird
sequence numbers, they have normal sequence numbers starting from 0001
and incrementing.
Since binutils 2.29 is now available as a .tar.xz tarball, we use this
format instead of .bz2 used for previous versions.

binutils 2.28.1 is a bug-fix release of the 2.28.x branch, so let's
switch to it.
Since a xz-compressed tarball is available, we use it instead of the
bz2-compressed one.
