A /dev/console node must be present in rootfs when the Linux kernel
boots otherwise the kernel will print the following warning:
"Warning: unable to open an initial console"
This is because when we use an initramfs the /dev directory is not
populated at this point. This can cause problems when a program
(e.g ldso with early debugging enabled) opens a standard file
descriptor for read/write before these descriptors are actually
created by the init process later on.

Fix build breakage, use the version of the ptrace header file in asm
instead of sys. Also, fix GDB running on 64 bit hosts. GDB was using
unsigned long for 32-bit registers, but unsigned long is 64 bit on
64-bit hosts.

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.

Busybox does partial linking of its modules before linking everything
together into the binary. Those partial links are done without the
standard libraries, but that also means -ltirpc can't be found. In
addition, this probably fails horribly with static linking (untested).
The problem is that the LDFLAGS are also used in the partial links.
So instead, use CFLAGS_busybox, which is only used for the busybox
link step. Also make sure that this is passed through the environment,
not on the command line, so the busybox Makefile can still append to
it.

In order to solve
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/34f6843137efda20626af72714c110280ec577d7/build-end.log,
this patch makes the D-Bus package as well as all the packages that
select the D-Bus package 'depends on BR2_USE_MMU'.
In addition, for the specific case of gvfs, the missing
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS dependency is added (threads are required by
D-Bus, so they are also required by gvfs which selects D-Bus).

uClibc pretends to implement <fenv.h> as it installs the header, but
in practice, it only implements the functions for i386. This makes gsl
unhappy as it detects fenv.h, but then cannot use the fenv functions.

mesa3d now generates some C files at build time (related to the OpenGL
API) from XML files. This generation process is done using Python
scripts that require the libxml2 Python module.

Commit 3c90f75496 made Python use a
special ./configure command in order to avoid --enable-shared
--disable-static being passed, because it was causing issues when
building certain modules for a 64 bits system.
However, not having a shared libpython2.7 library for the host
prevents the libxml2 Python binding to get built.
So instead, we use the default configure command, but we add
--enable-static which is needed for Python to build correctly.
Note that we tested the build of Python on a 64 bits host as well as
the build of Python for a 64 bits target, and both went fine, with all
modules built properly.

(Possibly) fixes#5354
The lua shared library patch was creating the shared library with
-nostdlib -lgcc for some unknown reason, which most likely is
the reason for the link issue reported in #5354.
Fix it by dropping these arguments, so gcc gets to figure out itself
what dependencies are needed.

A very common mistake done by our users is that they use
output/target/ directory as their root filesystem. Even though this is
loudly documented in our Buildroot manual, people don't read
documentation, so it is not sufficient.
This patch adds a text file named
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM which explains why
output/target isn't appropriate to use as the root filesystem. The
process is:
* At the beginning of the build, right after the skeleton has been
copied, support/misc/target-dir-warning.txt is copied to
output/target/THIS_IS_NOT_YOUR_ROOT_FILESYSTEM
* In the filesystem images creation code, this file is removed before
launching fakeroot, and restored right after that, so that this
file is not present in the generated root filesystem images.
Note that the file has not been added to the default skeleton for two
reasons:
* It would have annoying to have in our source tree a file named in
capital letters inside system/skeleton/
* The proposed way works even if the user uses a custom skeleton.

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.
