The stripping options operate on the final image and not the intermediate
builds, so requiring stripping to be disabled just to enable debugging
options doesn't make much sense. Especially when working with gdbserver:
only the host needs the debugging information to be available. The board
can run & debug perfectly fine without it.

Allow the user to define HOST_DIR in the config menu.
This way when building an internal toolchain a separate (maybe shared)
output directory may be defined and the toolchain can be used by
multiple users and/or projects.

We don't need Config.in and Makefile in target/device: defconfig files
are sufficient to describe the specificities of a board (architecture,
compilation flags, bootloader and kernel details, etc.).
However, a placeholder such as target/device will be kept in order to
host things such as kernel configuration files or various
board-specific patches.

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

It speeds up configuration considerably.
If a package breaks due to wrong cache-entries, then the broken
other package has to be fixed, not the innocent bystander!
Put short: There is absolutely _no_ need to ever turn the cache off
unless you hack on autotools itself and goof.

In the output directory, we now have
- build/ where all the packages are built
- images/ where the final kernel and rootfs images are stored
- staging/ the staging directory (containing the development files
and libraries compiled for the target)
- target/ which contains the target root filesystem
- host/ which contains all the host programs
- stamps/ which contains the stamps files
Therefore, the build_ARCH and toolchain_build_ARCH have been
removed. People willing to use the same Buildroot sources to compile
for different architectures are invited to use the O= command line
option for out-of-tree compilation.

The buildroot toolchain is installed in $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin and not

all the different COPYTOs spread out all over
Buildroot.
Generate COPY_FILE subroutine which can be used
to copy a file.
$(COPY_FILE , file, directory, filename)
This will copy to binary dir and to the selected
copy dir if set in new config (intended to replace
all old COPYTO configs)
This is overridden by BUILDROOT_COPYTO,
if set into the environment.
The following changes allow for use of a central configure cache
file. This speeds up configuration of packages.
Its use is configurable at the top level (BR2_CONFIG_CACHE - default n).
Old style makefiles can use it if they use the following MACRO in makefiles:
$(AUTO_CONFIGURE_TARGET) see my change to directfb.mk.
New style Autotools.in will use it if you set the global option.
However you can enable the global option and on a per package overrule it by doing
the following: $(PKGNAME)_USE_CONFIG_CACHE = NO see fontconfig.mk for an example
of this.
Finally I have removed a few config variable settings which indicated no CXX compiler
as this is wrong and breaks the build when using this central cache.
Config.in | 8 ++++++++
package/Makefile.autotools.in | 5 ++++-
package/Makefile.in | 28 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++-

I would appreciate feedback on this change (I have been testing for 2-3 weeks)
But I can never test all cases! If you enable the BR2_CONFIG_CACHE option some
Makefile.autotools.in based packages may now break - I cannot build them all.
In this case you may need to remove config options that are being hardcoded all
over the place (like gtk saying we have 2 CXX compiler) or disable the use
of CONFIG CACHE file like I have done in fontconfig.
I can build all packages required to get WebKit on DirectFB up and running
and it runs fine.
I will try to resolve any issues this creates as fast as I can.
