This new toolchain release fixes a number of issues found with the previous
one. In particular, the issues with fallocate64, prlimit64 and the
ill-installed linux headers seem to be fixed now.
Therefore, there's not need to sanitize the headers for this toolchain and some
packages should now build fine (e.g. fio).

The fact that atomic operations are available is not really a
specificity of the toolchain, but rather of the architecture.
So, add a new option that architectures that have atomic operations
can select. This in turn selects the current toolchain atomic option,
until all packages have been converted, at which point the old
toolchain option can be removed.

GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

As reported in bug #7172 [0], setting BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS to a value
containing a $ sign can lead to unexpected results.
This is because it is very hard to know when the $ sign gets evaluated:
- in the Buildroot-level make
- in the shell called by the Buildroot-level make
- in the package's own build-system, either at configure time, in the
Makefile, in a shell in the Makefile...
So, it is very difficult to know how much escaping that would need.
A proposal is to use a shell variable to pass such values unmolested.
But it is not that simple either, since it still contains a $ sign, and
there is not much certainty as to when it would be evaluated.
Instead, just document this limitation, both in the help text for
BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS, and in the known-issues section in the manual.
Does not really fix#7172, but at least the limitation is documented.

The gconv libraries are used to translate between different character sets
('charsets', even 'csets' sometimes). Some packages need them to present
text to the user (eg. XBMC Gotham).
In (e)glibc they are implemented by the internal implemenation of iconv,
called gconv, and are provided as dlopen-able libraries.
Note that some gconv modules need extra libraries (shared by more than
one gconv module), so we must, when adding a subset of modules, scan the
installed modules in search of the missing libraries.

The 2014R1 toolchain is provided in two flavours by Analog Devices:
one based on gcc 4.3.x, which is considered stable, and one based on
gcc 4.5.x, considered experimental. In commit
5a65b8e185 ("toolchain-external: add ADI
Blackfin 2014R1 toolchain, remove 2012R1") both variants were added.
However, after some testing in the autobuilders, and discussion with
the Analog Devices folks, it turns out that the experimental version
of the toolchain is too experimental. It causes numerous build
failures, and the Analog Devices folks clearly say that it's an early
release and that they expect quite a few problems to show up.
Therefore, this commit removes the experimental flavor and keeps only
the stable variant. Note that the removal/renaming of the Config.in
options is not a problem, since those options were added after the
2014.05 release.

When getting the sysroot used for the kernel headers version check,
passing TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CFLAGS causes a problem when used with
multilib toolchains, where only the main sysroot has the header files,
and the other sysroots only have the libraries.
Since the kernel headers version used is normally the same for all
sysroots, this commit solves this problem by removing the
TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CFLAGS argument when calling
toolchain_find_sysroot, so that it returns the main sysroot, in which
<linux/version.h> can be found for the kernel headers version check.

Since the introduction of the kernel headers Config.in options, the
external toolchain logic had a check for custom external toolchains to
verify that the kernel headers version entered by the user matches the
one of the toolchain. However, this check was not made for non-custom
external toolchains (i.e the built-in profiles, such as Linaro,
CodeSourcery and al.), making the assumption that the Buildroot
developers will do the right selection.
However, it is quite nice when bumping external toolchains to have
this automatic kernel headers version check, to ensure we select the
appropriate kernel headers version.
Therefore, this commit makes the kernel headers version check
applicable to non-custom external toolchains.

Currently the check for EABI/EABIhf toolchains looks for the
Tag_ABI_VFP_args attribute in the crt1.o file which gcc adds in an
EABIhf toolchain.
In uClibc, however, crt1.o is not compiled from c but assembly, so the
Tag_ABI_VFP_args attribute is not added in the object file. This causes
the EABIhf check in the external toolchain logic to fail for
uClibc-based toolchains.
Fix by compiling a dummy .c file and trying to link the object against the
C library. Since it is impossible to mix EABI and EABIhf code, a mismatch
between the buildroot and toolchain ABI settings will be detected during
this link step.

This commit slightly improves the external toolchain backend, and the
gdb build logic to create a file named
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/buildroot/gdbinit which can be used as a
gdbinit file using gdb -x option. This allows gdb to automatically use
the proper sysroot to find libraries.
The initial insight for this patch comes from the report of Oded
Hanson <OHanson@xsightsys.com>, who found an issue with the Eclipse
Buildroot plugin, which was setting a solib-path in gdb, but not a
sysroot. Setting a solib-path was enough to find shared libraries, but
not the dynamic linker. And since Eclipse doesn't allow to set the
sysroot in any other way than giving a gdbinit file, it makes sense to
have Buildroot generate a gdbinit file (which can be used in other
situations than Eclipse).
To achieve this, this commit introduces a gen_gdbinit_file helper in
toolchain/helpers.mk, and uses it for the internal toolchain and
external toolchain backends.

The Nios-II Sourcery external toolchain (the only Nios-II we currently
support) exports broken kernel headers. In particular, these kernels should
be exported using the "headers_install" rule which applies a set of fixes
on the kernel headers so they are suitable for userspace usage.
In order to fix this, add a post-install hook to perform the header fixes
ourselves. The result is equivalent to apply the "headers_install" rule.

Old toolchains, with old gcc that do not support -print-sysroot, break the
kernel-headers version check script: it fails to find the sysroot of the
toolchain, and thus ends up including the host's linux/version.h.
Most of the time, this will break early, since the host's kernel headers
will not match the toolchain settings.
But it can happen that the check is succesful, although the configuration
of the toolchain is wrong:
- the custom toolchain has kernel headers vX.Y
- the user selected vX.Z (Z!=Y)
- the host has headers vX.Y
In this case, the check passes OK, but the build of some packages later on
will break (which is exactly what those _AT_LEAST_XXX options were added to
avoid).
Fix that by passing the sysroot to the check script, instead of the cross
compiler.
We get the sysroot as thus:
- for custom toolchains, we use the macro toolchain_find_sysroot. We can
do that, because we already have a complete sysroot with libc.a at that
time.
- for internal toolchain using a custom kernel headers version, we just
use $(STAGING_DIR). We can't use the macro as for custom toolchains
above, because at the time we install the kernel headers, we do not yet
have a complete sysroot with a libc.a. But we can just use
$(STAGING_DIR), since we're only interested in the kernel headers.
For all other types of toolchains, we already have the _AT_LEAST_XXX options
properly set, so we need not add a check in this case.

Since we introduced the _AT_LEAST_XXX for the kernel headers, people
using pre-built custom toolchain now have to specify the version of
the kernel headers their custom toolchain uses.
So, when we detect that there is a mismatch between the selection in
the menuconfig, and the actual version of the headers, we currently
only bail out with a terse message "Incorrect selection of kernel
headers".
This could be confusing some, and getting the version of the headers
used by the toolchain is not trivial (well, it's very easy, but not
trivial.)
This patch changes the way we report the error by moving the message
into the test-code, and by printing the expected and actual versions
of the kernel headers.
BUT! To get this pretty error message, we need to run the
test-program, so we can not use the cross-toolchain, we have to use
the native one.
BUT! The native one has its own linux/version.h header, so we can not
simply include it.
So, we ask the cross-compiler where its default sysroot is, and use
that to then force-feed the cross linux/version.h to the native
toolchain.
[Thomas: augment commit log with a message provided by Yann, fix
coding style to not have spaces after opening parenthesis and before
closing parenthesis, reformatted the message "Incorrect selection..."
