I'm happy to update GNU tools for ARC cores to the most recent
arc-2015.06 release.
This release brings following major improvements:
* GCC: source update to v4.8.4
* GCC: C ABI compatibility between MetaWare and GNU toolchains
* uClibc: support for thread local storage and Native Pthread Library (NPTL)
* GDB: updated to version 7.9.1
Also a lot of fixes and improvements has been done, please refer to
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2015.06
for more details.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.

Commit 23413b51b2 added --with-expat
configure option and expat dependency when BR2_PACKAGE_EXPAT is
configured. When cross-compiling, gdb configure fails because the host
system libexpat is referenced.
Configuring gdb with
--with-libexpat-prefix=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr
fixes the reference and allows gdb to build successfully.

gdbserver does not build on Blackfin FLAT (undefined reference to
`_td_thr_tlsbase') and while it builds on Blackfin FDPIC, it's pretty
unlikely that it is going to work properly with the cross-gdb provided
by the Analog Devices toolchain: the Analog Devices toolchain provides
a 6.6 cross-gdb, while we use gdb 7.8.2 for gdbserver.
Therefore, let's simply disable gdb completely for Blackfin.

Currently we only add "host-texinfo" dependency for host GDB built
from git sources. But in case of target gdb texinfo won't be built
and so gdb building will fail on attempt to build documentation.
Fix is trivial - add "host-texinfo" as a dependency for target gdb
in the sme way as we disable documentation building via both
GDB_CONF_ENV (for target) and HOST_GDB_CONF_ENV (host) GDB flavors.

Now when new shiny tools are released by Synopsys we're ready for
version update in Buildroot again.
More details about arc-2014.12 release are available here:
https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2014.12
Following patches were removed from GCC since they are a part of release
now:
* 200-size_type_unsigned_int.patch
* 300-ptrdiff_type_int.patch
* 400-call-arc_hazard-before-branch-shortening.patch
* 401-fix-length-attribute-for-casesi_load-pattern.patch
* 402-fix-length-of-instructions-that-are-in-delay-slot-and-needs-to-be-predicated.patch
* 403-update-casesi_compact_jump-instruction-length.patch
But since arc-2014.12 tools are still based on GCC 4.8 following patches
ar still relevant so moving to the new folder to match ARC gcc bump.
* 100-libstdcxx-uclibc-c99.patch
* 910-gcc-poison-system-directories.patch

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.

This commit adds a new option BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_PYTHON to enable Python
support in the target gdb. Since we can assume that the user will be
aware that Python is needed to get Python support in gdb, we chose to
use a "depends on" dependency instead of a "select" dependency.
The other weird thing is the need for a wrapper shell script to
replace gdb's provided python-config.py script. See the shell script
comment itself for all the details.

Commit 2474fb0bf1 ("host-gdb: enable
terminal user interface support") has added TUI support to host gdb,
and therefore added a dependency on host-ncurses when TUI support is
enabled.
However, host-ncurses is not only needed for TUI support, it is needed
for gdb in all cases as well, so this commit adds a dependency of
host-gdb to host-ncurses.

If Binutils and/or GDB are fetched from the unified binutils-gdb
repository, then the tarball will contain both Binutils and GDB
sources, unlike the "normal" tarballs that contain only the titular
package. To keep packages separated in Buildroot we need to disable
undesired components when configuring.
Binutils and GDB migrated to a common Git repository in the October
2013 [1]. Previous Git repositories were incomplete copies of CVS
repository which copied only the relevant files (no binutils files in
GDB, and vice versa). In the new binutils-gdb repository there is no
such separation and a result all files exist in directory after
checkout. So if "configure" and "make" are used without explicit
targets, all projects will be built: binutils, ld, gas, bfd, opcodes,
gdb, etc. In case of Buildroot this would mean that selecting Binutils
only, still will build both Binutils and GDB. And if GDB is selected
as well, then both packages will be built two times, and Binutils from
GDB directory will overwrite initial build of Binutils (or vice versa
if Binutils will be built after the GDB). This is a serious problem,
because binutils and GDB use separate branches in this common
repository. In case of Buildroot this means that separate Git commits
(or tags) should be used when downloading source from Git.
This affects only Git repositories, because GNU release tarballs still
contain only relevant packages.
This change is backward compatible, because if "normal" tarball is
used (without extra directories), than --disable-* configure options
are just ignored by configure.

For some reason, we were keeping gdb version 6.6a specially for
Blackfin. However, it turns out that support for Blackfin was merged
in gdb 7.4 (cross-gdb and gdbserver, not native gdb on the
target). Therefore, we can simply remove the support for version 6.6a
and use 7.5 as the default.
Both 7.4 and 7.5 were built tested, including cross-gdb and gdbserver.
The original reason to switch to 7.x is that 6.6a doesn't build for
Blackfin FLAT, and while it builds for Blackfin FDPIC, it only builds
libiberty.a and does not actually build a cross debugger.
