This patch moves the host-ccache build target from BASE_TARGETS in Makefile
to an actual host prerequisite in support/dependencies. This causes
host-ccache to be built as part of the dependencies, before any real package
is built.
Since the dependencies are built without ccache anyway, there is no need to
set HOST_CCACHE_CONF_ENV anymore.

It can be useful to have different configuration use the same post-build

have minor differentiation.
This option allows passing zero or more additional arguments to each

The same set of extra arguments are passed to all scripts, it is not

Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library
used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we
are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it
would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden
options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that
exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.
Note that we have intentionally created only one option
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are
essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

Initially, a "cp" was used for the one-time target skeleton
installation, and an "rsync" was used for the every-time overlay

changed to also use rsync (1cd3f992fb).
Now there are two rsyncs, but with different filter specs, which
seems odd.

Store BR2_DEFCONFIG in .config, and use it to update the original input
defconfig file after updating the configuration. When a config is
created by using the BR2_DEFCONFIG=... option, this is saved in the
.config file; later runs of savedefconfig will update that same location.
It is also possible to configure this place in the interactive
configuration.
The BR2_DEFCONFIG value itself is not saved into the generated
defconfig, since Kconfig considers it at its default. This is
intentional, to avoid hard-coding an absolute path in the defconfig.
It will anyway be set again when the defconfig is used with the
'make BR2_DEFCONFIG=... defconfig' command.
As a side-effect of this change, the *config options have been moved out
of the BR2_HAVE_DOT_CONFIG condition. This doesn't make any functional
difference, because the .config is still not read for the *config targets.
However, the defconfig and savedefconfig targets do need to include
.config now, which makes them slightly slower.

Support scripts (in support/) may need to parse the .config file, so give
them an easy access to it, by exporting BUILDROOT_CONFIG with the fully-
qualified path to .config.
Also, post-build scripts may need to reference a few locations, so export
those, too.
Note: we export both O and BASE_DIR. Although they are the same, BASE_DIR
is used internally, while O is used on the command line, which makes it a
bit ambiguous to know which to use. As users use O= on the command line,
they will probably tend to use that in their post-build scripts.

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.

This allows to automatically collect material that may be needed to comply with
the license of packages that Buildroot prepares for the target device.
The core of the implementation is made by the following parts:
- in package/pkg-utils.mk some helper functions are defined for common actions
such as generating a warning, producing info about a package etc;
- in package/pkg-gentargets.mk, within the GENTARGETS framework, a new
<PKG>-legal-info target produces all the info for a given package;
- Makefile implements the top-level targets:
- legal-info-prepare creates the output directory and produces legal info
about Buildroot itself and the toolchain, which mostly means just warning
the user that this is not implemented;
- legal-info, the only target that is supposed to be used directly, depends
on all of the above and finishes things by producing the README files from

The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the
ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache
is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories
may be mounted over NFS.)
Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this
was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that
support was removed.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for
a discussion on this.

In order to use locale support on a Linux system, you need locale data
to be present:
* on a (e)glibc based system, this data is typically in the
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive file, which can be created and
extended using the localedef program
* on an uClibc based system, the set of supported locales is defined
at build time by an uClibc configuration option.
This patch implements generating locale data for the following cases:
* Internal toolchain
* External toolchain based on (e)glibc. uClibc external toolchains
are not supported, because with uClibc, the set of supported
locales is defined at build time. CodeSourcery and Linaro
toolchains have been tested, Crosstool-NG toolchains are believed
to work properly as well.
* Toolchains built using the Crosstool-NG backend, but only (e)glibc
toolchains.
This feature was runtime tested with internal uClibc toolchain,
CodeSourcery ARM toolchain and Linaro ARM toolchain, thanks to a
simple C program that shows the data and a gettext translated message.
Note that this option differs from the "purge locales" option, which
is responsible for removing translation files and other locale stuff
installed by packages. At some point in the future, we may want to
clarify the respective roles of those options.

There used to be a mechanism using which packages could leave a
.fakeroot.<something> file which could contain commands to be executed
within the fakeroot environment. Since this mechanism is no longer
used by any package, remove it from the common infrastructure.
The latest user was nfs-utils, which used this mechanism to do the
"make install" as root, since doing otherwise was not supported. But
since 16e7b8255c, nfs-utils has been
upgraded and converted to the package infrastructure, and this hack is
no longer necessary. Another past user was the ltp-testsuite package,
for the same reason, and since
a72a670489, the fakeroot hack is no
longer needed.

Ensure host packages (dependencies of target packages) are also handled
by make source / make external-deps.
This has to be done a explicitly, as we don't list these in Kconfig,
and hence also not in a variable like TARGETS, so instead we have to
look at the <PKG>_DEPENDENCIES variables for each enabled package and
extract the host packages from there.
Host packages can in turn also have dependencies, so we have to follow
those as well. Ideally this should be done recursively, but as that's
pretty hard to do in make, it is limited to 1 level for now.
Finally, host packages share source files with target packages, so
pipe output of make external-deps through sort -u to ensure duplicates
are removed.

If building out-of-tree, add a Makefile wrapper that calls-out to the real
Makefile with proper args.
Avoids having to pass -C and O= every time we call make.
This is highly inspired from how the Linux kernel does it, and portions of
it have been used. We can't use exactly the same implementation as the
kernel does, because:
- the script writing the wrapper has been expunged of the few lines
that were too kernel-related: in buildroot we do not need the version
string in the wrapper, and we do not have a patchlevel version;
- "in-tree build" does not have the same meaning for the kernel and for
buildroot: for the kernel, $(O) point to the $(TOPDIR), while for
buildroot $(O) points to $(TOPDIR)/output.

The previous commit has removed calls to conf_write_autoconf(), which
is the function that generates the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF,
KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER, KCONFIG_TRISTATE files and the split config (with
one file per config item). Therefore, those things were not generated
anymore before the build.
In order to get them generated before the build, we use the same
mechanism as the kernel: run a silentoldconfig when the .config file
is newer than the KCONFIG_AUTOCONF file.
In Buildroot, all those elements are not really used today, except the
split config which is used a little bit in the toolchain build, in a
try to make sure the toolchain gets rebuilt properly when the
configuration changes. It does not seem that this work has been
completed.
However, as we want to keep the same behaviour as previously, we have
to generate all those elements before starting the build.

Our kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch hasn't been kept up to date with all
the changes made into package/config, and a single patch wasn't very
practical to maintain all our changes. Therefore, this commit adds a
package/config/patches directory, which contains a Quilt series of
patches that correspond to our modifications to the kconfig mechanism.
The huge kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch has been split into 16 smaller
patches. The purpose of some of the modifications has been clearly
identified, while some others were not identified.
The 16 patches together do match exactly the old
kconfig-to-buildroot2.patch. We have been very careful in making sure
that we wouldn't loose any of our modifications.
The only modifications made are :
* Instead of renaming the kernel Makefile to Makefile.kconfig and
naming the Buildroot Makefile just 'Makefile', we instead keep the
original package/config/Makefile from the kernel
scripts/kconfig/Makefile and name the Buildroot Makefile
package/config/Makefile.br. The main Buildroot Makefile is modified
accordingly.
* The documentation README.buildroot2 is updated to explain how to
upgrade to a newer version of scripts/kconfig.
* The kconfig-language.txt documentation is removed, as anybody can
easily find it in the kernel sources so there's no need to
duplicate it here.
