The Linux kernel does force compile with -m4-nofpu, which is only
available when building a multilib toolchain.
The interesting part here is, that buildroot use --disable-multilib for
gcc configure, but enables --with-multilib-list=m4,m4-nofpu in
the default configuration for Qemu targeting r2d emulation.
This results in a toolchain, which can be used for the kernel and
for userland without creating a multilib toolchain with different
kinds of libgcc version. In the multilib case there would be
subdirectories created (!m4 and m4-nofpu). As buildroot uses a
short version of toolchain creation, a multilib enabled gcc build
fails when creating libgcc.
So the best solution is to just keep multilib disabled, but always
add --with-multilib-list when sh4/sh4eb/sh4a/sh4aeb is choosen.
Tested with sh4/sh4a toolchain build and qemu defconfig with
gcc 4.8.x/4.9.x (with and without C++ enabled), uClibc and glibc.
Disable sh4a/sh4aeb for uClibc, as it does not implemented, yet.

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.

This commit makes the dependency from the target toolchain explicit.
This way we can buid from command line a package that use
inner-generic-package right after the configuration phase, example:
make clean <package-name>
Also remove TARGETS_ALL because the only purpose was to add toolchain
dependency so it's superseded by this commit.
To prevent circular dependency add the new variable
<pkgname>_ADD_TOOLCHAIN_DEPENDENCY to avoid adding the toolchain
dependency for toolchain packages.
This is also a step forward supporting top-level parallel make.

This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:
*) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
toolchain backend.
*) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
support.
*) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
-fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

Using the newly introduced 'eglibc' package, this commit enables the
option of building a toolchain using the eglibc C library in the
Buildroot toolchain backend.
In details, this commit:
* Creates a choice to select uClibc or eglibc in the Buildroot
toolchain backend (in toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in), and
removes the fact that the Buildroot toolchain backend forcefully
enables uClibc (toolchain/Config.in).
* Creates a BUILDROOT_LIBC variables, which points to the package
implementing the C library (i.e either 'uclibc' or 'eglibc').
* Modifies the gcc-final and gcc-intermediate makefiles to use the
BUILDROOT_LIBC variable instead of hardcoding the use of uclibc.
* Ensures that TLS support is always enabled when building eglibc.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).
