The Eclipse plugin at
https://github.com/mbats/eclipse-buildroot-toolchain-plugin allows
users of Eclipse to easily use the toolchain available in
Buildroot. To do so, this plugin reads
~/.buildroot-eclipse.toolchains, which contains the list of Buildroot
toolchains available on the system, and then offer those toolchains to
compile Eclipse projects.
In order to interface with this plugin, this commit adds an option
that allows the user to tell whether (s)he wants the Buildroot project
toolchain to be visible under this Eclipse plugin. It simply adds a
line in this ~/.buildroot-eclipse.toolchains file.

Some users seem to interpret:
make ctng-menuconfig
as being a value that can be fit for the ct-ng config file.
Clarify that it is a command to run, not a possible value.

When using the crosstool-ng toolchain option, the libc libraries were not
installed to target. Buildroot calls the show-tuple function to determine
the directory to copy from, and it seems that outputs the result to stderr
instead of stdout

Update the version of glibc to be used, since older versions are
broken with the currently-used binutils versions.
Fixes build issues ending with:
tmpfs/ccvkz3ro.s:33: Error: CFI instruction used without
previous .cfi_startproc
This new version does not have RPC support, so update the Config.in.

We have updated our Crosstool-NG configuration to gcc 4.6.x, but the
PPL and CLoog versions were not updated accordingly. With gcc 4.6.x,
at least PPL 0.11 is needed, and only CLoog > 0.15.9 can work with PLL
0.11.

When building gdb for the host, we properly pass the PATH (through
HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) during the configure step, but we forget to do so
for the compilation step.
The result of this is that when the Crosstool-NG backend is used, gawk
is built and installed in $(HOST_DIR), as a dependency of the
crosstool-ng package.
Then, the host gdb configure script detects this gawk binary
($(HOST_DIR) is in the PATH), and assumes gawk is
available. Unfortunately, during the compilation step, it fails to
find the expected gawk binary, because $(HOST_DIR) is no longer in the
PATH. This causes the following build failure:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/067d0c2ea01673ba98ec11de2426f1ab92dac800/build-end.log
In order to fix this, we simply call the compilation step of gdb for
the host with $(HOST_MAKE_ENV), as it should have been done from the
beginning.

On ARM, Linaro external toolchains are only visible if the user
selects Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9. Therefore, we add a comment that tells
the user that the Linaro toolchains are only available under those

Except for architecture and processor names, buildroot uses capitalized
configuration names, so change the macro names for xtensa to follow that
standard.
Change the overlay file to have a subdirectory for each component
(gdb, binutils, gcc, etc.) to make it more future-prove.

As discussed during the ELCE 2012 Buildroot Developers Meeting, we no
longer want to support the possibility of building a toolchain for the
target. None of the core developers have any use for this, it has been
known to be broken or cause problems for a long time without anyone
providing fixes for it.
In addition to this, Buildroot is inherently a cross-compilation tool,
so the usage of a native toolchain on the target is not really
useful. Many newcomers are tempted to use this possibility even though
it is clearly not the intended usage of Buildroot.

Xtensa is a configurable processor architecture, which allows to define
additional instructions and registers. The required variant specific
information for the toolchain is delivered in an 'overlay' file, which
needs to be 'untarred' to the corresponding directories after the
source is installed and patched.
This patch provides support for binutils, gcc, and gdb with a very
limited changes to the build scripts. These additions are only executed
for the Xtensa architecture and have no effect on other architectures.

mcpu, etc.' patch, and changed 'Target ABI' to 'Target Architecture
Variant'].

The Xtensa architecture had been removed because it required special
handling and depended on additional directories and files that became
obsolete over time. This change is more aligned to other architectures.
