Distro toolchains, i.ie. toolchains coing with distributions, will
almost invariably be unsuitable for use with Buildroot:
- they are mostly non-relocatable;
- their sysroot is tainted with a lot of extra libraries.
Especially, the toolchains coming with Ubuntu (really, all the Debian
familly of distros) are configured with --sysroot=/ which makes them
non-relocatable, and they already contain quite some libraries that
conflict (in any combination of version, API or ABI) with what Buildroot
wants to build (i.e. extra libraries, some not even present in
Buildroot...) but also their mere preence when Buildroot does not expect
them to be already built (so that a package would enable features when
it should not).
So, try to detect those toolchains and black-list them; inform the user
that the toolchain is unusable for the reasons mentioned above.

We currently only check that the Buildroot configuration matches what is
available in the toolchain.
Since we're going to remove the check for LFS and make it a mandatory
feature, we will lose the corresponding buildroot option, so we won't be
able to use check_uclibc_feature as-is.
Introduce a magic value passed as the buildroot option name to recognise
checks for mandatory uclibc options that do not have a corresponding
option in buildroot.
If the buildroot option name is empty then the check is against a
mandatory uclibc option.
If a mandatory uclibc option is missing we reject the toolchain as being
unusable by buildroot.

The computation of TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BIN has a special case for
Blackfin, where it's set to
$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR)/$(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PREFIX)/bin
instead of $(TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_DIR)/bin for other
architectures.
However, this is actually only true for Analog Devices pre-built
toolchains. Other Blackfin external toolchains (such as ones built by
Buildroot) do not have this special organization.
Therefore, in order to make those non-ADI Blackfin toolchains work, we
need to change the condition from BR2_bfin to testing specifically for
the ADI toolchains.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

The CodeSourcery toolchains have a very interesting feature: they warn
the user when an unsafe header or library path is used, i.e a path
that will lead host headers or libraries to leak into the build.
This commit adds a similar functionality into our external toolchain
wrapper, so that it can be used with all external toolchains, and can
also be tuned as needed. By default, the external toolchain wrapper
now gives warnings such as:
arm-linux-gcc: WARNING: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-I /usr/foo'
arm-linux-gcc: WARNING: unsafe header/library path used in cross-compilation: '-L /usr/bleh'
but the compilation continues successfully. One can then easily grep
in his build log to search for occurences of this message.
Optionally, if BR_COMPILER_PARANOID_UNSAFE_PATH is defined in the
environment to a non empty value, the external wrapper will instead
error out and abort the compilation.

Some crazy folks use MIPS machines as build machines. ;-)
On MIPS, the only acceptable hash-style is 'sysv', because the MIPS ABI
defines that the GOT ordering to be the same as the symbols ordering,
while GNU hash requires symbols to be sorted by their hash.
Looking at binutils' code, it seems that only MIPS suffers from that
limitation.
Currently, we force the toolchain wrapper to be linked with both hash
styles, which breaks on MIPS.
So, fix that by singling out MIPS, and use sysv in that case, and both
otherwise.

Generating locales is possible in two situations:
- With the internal toolchain backend, when the uClibc library is
used. With uClibc, locales are generated at build time of the C
library, so with uClibc it's only possible with the internal
toolchain backend.
- With either the internal or external toolchain backend when the
glibc library is used. With glibc, locales can be generated
afterwards, using the host-localedef utility.
Until we had the musl C library supported in the internal toolchain
backend, the condition: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT ||
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC was correct to capture the above two
situations. Now that we have musl support in the internal toolchain
backend, then BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT is incorrect, and we should use
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC instead.
Basic locale support in musl has appeared in musl 1.1.4, but we are

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.
