This patch modifies current toolchain build sequence so that

Supporting multilib is much more than just passing --enable-multilib

for each multilib variant you want to support in your toolchain), and
to pass MULTILIB_OPTIONS/MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS values to gcc to let it
know the set of multilib variants you're interested in.
Since we'll probably never support multilib toolchains in Buildroot,
just get rid of this BR2_ENABLE_MULTILIB option.

This commit solves bug #1051. The problem in this bug in that WebKit
compiles a sample C program, which uses WebKit. As WebKit is written
in C++, even though the program it built with CROSS-gcc, it must be
linked with libstdc++. However, CROSS-gcc can't find the libstdc++ has
it's hidden inside <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib.
Therefore, this commit creates a symbolic link <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib
-> <sysroot>/lib before running the CROSS-gcc installation. While this
may look like a hack, this is the solution used by both Crosstool-NG
and OpenWRT.
Moreover, with this symbolic link in place, I think bug #1741 may also
be solved. The problem in this bug is that the linker tries to link
against /lib/libc.so.0. This is due to the fact that the linker finds
a libc.so script file in the original toolchain location and not
inside the copy of the toolchain sysroot in $(STAGING_DIR). As the
script file is found outside of the current toolchain sysroot, ld
considers the script has non-sysrooted, and therefore doesn't prefix
all paths found in the script file (such as /lib/libc.so.0) with the
sysroot path, leading to the failure.
So, in details, this commit :
* Adds a BR2_ARCH_IS_64 invisible config knob that is used to know if
the arch is a 64 bits architecture or not.
* Creates the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib -> <sysroot>/lib symbolic link,
and the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib64 -> <sysroot>/lib64 symbolic link if
needed.
* Fixes the external toolchain sysroot detection code so that the
'sed' replacement is done *after* the readlink -f evaluation.
I have tested this by building ARM, x86 and x86_64 toolchains with
Buildroot, and then use these toolchains as external toolchains to
build a full X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack. I have also done a
complete ARM Buildroot internal toolchain build with the same full

Until now, the function copy_toolchain_lib_root was copying a given
library to the target filesystem by assuming that it should be at the
same place it was in the toolchain sysroot.
However, with Buildroot hiding libstdc++ in
/usr/<target-name>/lib(64), this isn't correct, and it is probably
safer not to rely on the toolchain organization anyway.
Therefore :
* Instead of having a single EXTERNAL_LIBS variable, we now have
LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS and USR_LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS, which respectively
list the libraries that should be copied to /lib and /usr/lib. As
of today, only libstdc++ is part of the second list.
* The copy_toolchain_lib_root takes another argument, which is the
destination directory of the library, relative to $(TARGET_DIR)

For the detection of the ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR (which contains the C
library variant specific to the compiler flags), we used to pass only
the -march argument instead of the full TARGET_CFLAGS. This was done
because TARGET_CFLAGS contains --sysroot, and we don't want to tell
here the compiler which sysroot to use, because we're specifically
asking the compiler where the *normal* arch sysroot directory is.
Unfortunately, there are some multilib variants that aren't decided
only based on -march, but also on -msoft-float or other compiler
flags. Therefore, we take the opposite approach: pass the full
TARGET_CFLAGS, from which we have stripped the --sysroot option.
For example, this allows a PowerPC CodeSourcery toolchain, on which
we're using the soft-float multilib variant, to work properly as an
external toolchain.

When using an external toolchain that uses the glibc or eglibc C
libraries, compiling a separate gettext and libintl is not needed and
is even a source of confusion, causing build failures. These build
failures are due to the fact that when libintl is compiled, it
replaces the C library libintl.h by its own, which does #define
gettext libintl_gettext. Then, when packages want to use gettext,
autoconf realize that gettext is available in the C library and
therefore do not add -lintl to the LDFLAGS, causing the build failure
because the program has been compiled to use libintl_gettext but this
function is not available.
Therefore, we should only use gettext if a uClibc internal toolchain
or a uClibc external toolchain. If an external glibc toolchain is
used, gettext shouldn't be used.
In order to implement that, we introduce the BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT option,
which is hidden to the user, and whose value is computed automatically
from the rest of the configuration.

Multilib toolchains provide different versions of the base libraries
for different architecture variants. For example, the ARM Codesourcery
toolchain provides base libraries for ARMv5 (default), ARMv4t and
Thumb2.
Depending on the -march= argument passed to gcc, the sysroot used by
the compiler is therefore different. This means that the sysroot
location in CROSS-gcc -v cannot be used. Instead, we must use
CROSS-gcc -print-sysroot when available and fall back to the old way
if unavailable.
Moreover, we cannot simply copy the full sysroot as we used to do,
because the sysroot organization of multilib toolchain is more
complicated. In Codesourcery toolchains, we have :
/
etc -- for ARMv5
lib -- for ARMv5
sbin -- for ARMv5
usr -- for ARMv5 (includes headers)
armv4t
etc -- for ARMv4t
lib -- for ARMv4t
sbin -- for ARMv4t
usr -- for ARMv4t (no headers!)
thumb2
etc -- for Thumb2
lib -- for Thumb2
sbin -- for Thumb2
usr -- for Thumb2 (no headers!)
So we have the default ARMv5 architecture variant that is installed in
the main directory, and we have subdirectories for the ARMv4t and
Thumb2 architecture variants.
Copying the full sysroot to the staging directory doesn't work. All
our packages are based on the fact that they should install libraries
in staging/usr/lib. But if ARMv4t is used, the compiler would only
look in staging/armv4t/usr/lib for libraries (even when overriding the
sysroot with the --sysroot option, the multilib compiler suffixes the
sysroot directory with the architecture variant if it matches a
recognized one).
Therefore, we have to copy only the sysroot that we are interested
in. This is rendered a little bit complicated by the fact that the
armv4t and thumb2 sysroot do not contain the headers since they are
shared with the armv5 sysroot.
So, this patch :
* Modifies how we compute SYSROOT_DIR in order to use -print-sysroot
if it exists. SYSROOT_DIR contains the location of the main sysroot
directory, i.e the sysroot for the default architecture variant.
* Defines ARCH_SUBDIR as the subdirectory in the main sysroot for the
currently selected architecture variant (in our case, it can be
".", "armv4t" or "thumb2"). ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR is defined as the full
path to the sysroot of the currently selected architecture variant.
* Modifies copy_toolchain_lib_root (which copies a library to the
target/ directory) so that libraries are taken from
ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR instead of SYSROOT_DIR. This ensures that
libraries for the correct architecture variant are properly copied
to the target.
* Modifies copy_toolchain_sysroot (which copies the sysroot to the
staging/ directory), so that it copies the contents of

and ARM uClibc toolchains.

The copy_toolchain_lib_root function was making the assumption that
all libraries were stored inside the /lib directory of the sysroot
directory. However, this isn't true for certain toolchains,
particularly for the libstdc++ library.
The function is therefore reworked to find the library and its related
symlink either in /lib or /usr/lib in the sysroot, and copies it at
the same location in the target directory.

Since BR2_RECENT was enabled by default, we do not want entries marked
BR2_RECENT (and thus appearing by default in Buildroot) to disappear.
Therefore, all the entries marked BR2_RECENT are converted as
non-deprecated. We can later decide, on a per-entry basis, to add
BR2_DEPRECATED to some of them. But at least, this commit doesn't
change the default current behaviour of Buildroot.

This variable, together with the FIXME comment, has been added has
part of Eric Andersen's « Major buildroot facelift, step one » commit
that occured in October 2004.
Since then, no real usage has been made of OPTIMIZE_FOR_CPU, and the
initial intention has probably been lost in the memories of the
implementors.
Therefore, get rid of the variable, and just use $(ARCH) at the two
locations the variable was used.

The toolchains built with buildroot use specially crafted paths for their
sysroot and prefix. Fix that by asking gcc where it finds a file we
know by relative path to the sysroot.
This has the side effect of greatly simplifying the sysroot detection
in every cases tested so far (BR toolchains, CT-NG toolchains, and
CodeSourcery toolchains).
Fixes bug #851.

passed to gcc configure to set --with-pkgversion and --with-bugurl, to

string does not contain 4.2.
Unfortunately, the test is bogus. It does a findstring on x4.2. (with
a final dot) but compares the result with x4.2 (without the final
dot).
The result is that even with 4.2 versions, the test was true, leading
--with-pkgversion and --with-bugurl being passed to gcc's configure

The "project" feature was designed to allow to several projects to be
built inside the same Buildroot source tree and allowing the toolchain
and non-configurable packages to be shared between the different
projects on the same architecture. While being interesting in theory,
this feature adds a level of complexity to Buildroot, both from an
user perspective and from a developer perspective, while one of the
main Buildroot strengh is to be simple. Moreover, this feature is only
seldomly used by our users.
From a user-level perspective, this for example allows to remove the
project_build_ARCH directory, which was very confusing. The
autotools-stamps directory is also removed, since these stamps are
back at their normal location.
Description of the changes involved :
* project/, directory removed
* Makefile
- Don't include project/Makefile.in and project/project.mk anymore
- Grab a copy of the contents of project/Makefile.in at the
location it was imported, but remove the definition related to
PROJECT_BUILD_DIR. The TARGET_DIR is now in
$(BUILD_DIR)/target_dir
- Remove the creation/removal of the $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR) and
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps directories
- Don't make world depends on target-host-info. This target was
defined by project/project.mk to customize /etc/issue,
/etc/hostname and create /etc/br-version depending on the
project definitions. We can of course imagine re-adding such a
feature later.
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR everywhere
- Remove the update, log and lognr.$(PROJECT) target, they were
specific to the project feature.
* package/Makefile.autotools.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
- Move the INSTALL_TARGET and HOOK_POST_INSTALL stamps to the same
directory as the other stamps (i.e, in the package directory).
* package/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
* package/at/at.mk,
package/busybox/busybox.mk,
package/busybox/initramfs.mk,
package/customize/customize.mk,
package/linux-fusion/linux-fusion.mk,
package/ltp-testsuite/ltp-testsuite.mk,

- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
* target/device/Config.in
- Do not include project/Config.in anymore
* target/linux/Makefile.in.advanced
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Store the stamps file in $(STAMP_DIR) instead of
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps
* target/u-boot/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Remove $(PROJECT) from the U-Boot target binary name
- Remove the insertion in the configuration of the project name as
the hostname
- The u-boot-autoscript target now generates
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).img instead of
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).$(PROJECT)
* toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-3.x.mk
toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-4.x.mk
- Move the stamps files to $(STAMP_DIR)

This patch adds some checks on the external toolchains.
First, it checks that the C library selection is correct, by looking
if gcc is able to find the main C library file through the
-print-file-name option.
Then, it attempts to check if the Buildroot toolchain options match
the configuration of the toolchain :
* for glibc, it checks that IPv6, RPC, locales, wide-char, large file
support Buildroot options are enabled, since with glibc all these
features are always available (at least this is the assumption we
make) ;
* for uClibc, it checks the Buildroot options with the uClibc
configuration file in $SYSROOT_DIR/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h
Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
The current Buildroot works just well with sysrootable glibc
toolchains, using the external toolchain feature. The only thing that
needs to be customized is the set of libraries that must be compiled
to the target.
The following patch takes a simple approach to making it easier for
users to use glibc toolchains. It just adds a uClibc/glibc choice in
the external toolchain menu. Then, depending on that selection, the
configuration system will choose a sane default value for the library
files list.
The other advantage of having a uClibc/glibc choice is that in the
future, we'll be able to add checks verifying that the external
toolchain configuration matches the features selected in Buildroot (in
terms of IPv6, RPC, locales or large file support).
