The copy_toolchain_lib_root function is responsible for copying a
given library (and its symbolic link) to the target filesystem. To do
so, it looks for the library in various locations, and then iterates
over the symbolic link all the way to the library, copying them as
needed to the target filesystem.
However, the latest Linaro toolchains bring an interesting use case:
the lib/ directory in the toolchain is organized as follows:
- ld-linux.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabi/ld-2.17...so
- ld-linux-armhf.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.17...so
- arm-linux-gnueabi/
- all ARMv4T soft float libraries
- arm-linux-gnueabihf/
- all ARMv7 hard float libraries
In order to match what we do with all other toolchains, we want all
those libraries and symbolic links to be copied directly under
$(TARGET_DIR)/lib. This commit does that by adjusting the copy logic.
This is part of the fix for bug #6452 (eglibc from Linaro 2013.07 not
copied to target correctly).

This commit adds support for external toolchains based on the musl C
library, as available from http://www.musl-libc.org.
Note that the pre-built musl toolchains available from
http://musl.codu.org/ are not working for the moment, since they lack
sysroot support. However, this problem has been reported to the
maintainer, who has already added sysroot support in his scripts at
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross, and therefore the next
version of the pre-built toolchains should work with Buildroot
out-of-the-box. In the mean time, the musl-cross script must be used
to build the toolchain.

The check_glibc function contained checks to verify that the user had
properly enabled the largefile, IPv6, locale and wchar options, to
match how glibc is configured. This was useful when the support for
glibc external toolchains was introduced, but since then, we added the
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC symbol that automatically enables largefile,
IPv6, locale and wchar support when a glibc or eglibc external
toolchain is used. Therefore, many of the check_glibc checks are
useless now, so we can remove these.

Until now, the copy_toolchain_lib_root function took as argument the
base name of a library (e.g: libm.so), and was assuming that the usual
scheme libm.so.<x> being a symbolic link to the real library was used.
However, with musl based toolchains, the C library is named libc.so
directly, with no symbolic link at all. Therefore, this commit changes
the copy_toolchain_lib_root to move the responsibility of using a
wildcard or not after the library name the caller's responsibility.
So, all the existing LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS values are modified to have a
.* at the end, so that the behavior is effectively unchanged.

The external toolchain code makes the assumption that all C libraries
have a ld*.so, libc.so, libcrypt.so, libdl.so, libgcc_s.so, libm.so,
libnsl.so, libresolv.so, libutil.so, and when thread support is
enabled, libpthread.so, etc.
However, this is not the case with the musl C library, which
integrates all the functionalities in a single libc.so file. In
preparation of the support of the musl library, we make the current
value of LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS conditional to glibc or uClibc.
The addition of additional libraries through
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_LIBS is kept outside the condition, at
the end.

This commit introduces a virtual package called 'toolchain', located
in 'toolchain/toolchain', which simply depends on
'toolchain-buildroot' or 'toolchain-external' depending on the
selected toolchain backend.
For now, toolchain-buildroot and toolchain-external are still manual
make targets, but the following patches convert those backends to use
the package infrastructure as well.
In addition to this:
* The main Makefile is modified to always make BASE_TARGETS point to
this new toolchain virtual package.
* The main Makefile is changed to include all the toolchain/*/*.mk
files: the toolchain virtual package, and the toolchain-buildroot
and toolchain-external directories.
* The dependency of the toolchain on prepare dirs and dependencies is
moved to the toolchain virtual package. It is moved as a
prerequisite of the "toolchain-source" rule to ensure that all
directories are prepared before we even start extracting the
toolchain.

In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.
For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.
So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.
Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.
Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same

*) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP

When NPTL support was introduced, gcc required a three stages build
process. Since gcc 4.7, this is no longer necessary, and it is
possible to get back to a two stages build process. This patch takes
advantage of this, by doing a two stages build process when possible.
We introduce a few hidden kconfig options:
* BR2_GCC_VERSION_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which is set by the gcc
Config.in logic to indicate that the compiler might need a three
stages build. Currently, all versions prior to 4.7.x are selecting
this kconfig option.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_LIBC_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which indicates whether
the C library might need a three stages build. This is the case for
eglibc, and uClibc when NPTL is enabled.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD finally is enabled when both
of the previous options are enabled. It indicates that a three
stages build is actually needed.
In addition to those options, the uClibc/gcc build logic is changed to
use only a two stages build process when possible.

The external-toolchain infrastructure creates symbolic links for all
tools in the host directory. However, when buildroot builds its own
version of a cross debugger (BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB), and the toolchain
also provides a cross debugger, there would be two symbolic links for
gdb in the host directory, which is confusing.
An example use case is where the external toolchain only provides a
64-bit gdbserver (e.g. Cavium Networks SDK) but the target is completely
32-bit (e.g. n32 ABI). In this case, using gdbserver on target requires
copying a bunch of 64-bit libraries to the target as well, just for gdb.
In this case, one can let buildroot build both gdbserver as cross-gdb
(both in 32-bit).
This patch modifies the symlink creation so that no gdb (or gdbtui)
symlink is created if buildroot is going to build a cross-gdb.

Following the introduction of the support of EABIhf as a second ARM
ABI, it is important to check whether the external toolchain provided
by the user actually uses the ABI that has been selected in the
Buildroot configuration. This commit introduces such a check by
looking at the 'Tag_ABI_VFP_args' tag of the architecture-specific
section of the ELF headers. This assumes that ELF is the binary format
used on ARM, which may not be the case on ARM noMMU systems (they use
the FLAT binary format), but Buildroot doesn't have support for such
systems at the moment.
Also ensure the correct CFLAGS are passed to the cross compiler for the
test, so the correct variant is used in case the toolchain is multilib.

Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.

Using the newly introduced 'eglibc' package, this commit enables the
option of building a toolchain using the eglibc C library in the
Buildroot toolchain backend.
In details, this commit:
* Creates a choice to select uClibc or eglibc in the Buildroot
toolchain backend (in toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in), and
removes the fact that the Buildroot toolchain backend forcefully
enables uClibc (toolchain/Config.in).
* Creates a BUILDROOT_LIBC variables, which points to the package
implementing the C library (i.e either 'uclibc' or 'eglibc').
* Modifies the gcc-final and gcc-intermediate makefiles to use the
BUILDROOT_LIBC variable instead of hardcoding the use of uclibc.
* Ensures that TLS support is always enabled when building eglibc.

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.

For some reason (probably because the ARC changes modify some lex/yacc

date/time of the pre-generated files is not correct), building the ARC
gcc requires host-flex and host-bison.
We have tested 4.2 for AVR, 4.3 and 4.4 for ARM, and none of those
need host-flex or host-bison to be installed, so only the 4.4 for ARC
seems to be affected.

using host tools built by Buildroot.
This patch therefore ensures that $(HOST_MAKE_ENV) or
$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) are passed at the appropriate locations. It will be
useful for a later patch that makes gcc depend on host-flex/host-bison

The external toolchain logic checks (and finds) the proper ARCH_LIB_DIR
and forcibly copies it to */lib even if it's in */lib64
This is all well until the check is done for create_lib64_symlinks which
only verifies if ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR/lib64 is a symlink, which in some
toolchain it's a real directory (like sourcery x86_64 2012.09) and thus
doesn't make the symlink in the target.
Fix this by also checking for a real directory.
Easily reproducible by running "make qemu_x86_64_defconfig", switching
to an external toolchain before build, building and then trying to run
the resulting image.

- it used to be broken without anyone noticing for a long time,
- it is still not fully integrated within the Buildroot set of options,
- it has not gained much traction (not even I use it),
- I've always argued that sustained development should use an external
toolchain, and not rely on building one with Buildroot,
- I did not submit any of the enhancements requested during the last
developpers' day in Brussels,
- I have neither the incentive nor the time to maintain and enhance it,
it is time to deprecate the crosstool-NG backend for the 2013.05 release.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

Previously, the crosstool-NG backend did depend on the top-level
Buildroot's .config to detect changes in the toolchain options,
using a tentatively-clever heuristic, which also included the full
Buildroot's version string to push down to set the components' versions
strings.
In doing so, any commit in the Buildroot tree would imply a complete
rebuild of the toolchain, even in the case the toolchain options did
not change, thus being a large annoyance (to say the least).
As Buildroot never guaranteed that toolchain options would be detected,
even less handled, and that the internal backend does neither detect nor
act on toolchain options changes, and delegate that to the user, there
is no point in individualising the crosstool-NG backend's behaviour.
This reasoning also applies to the depdency on the crosstool-NG's bundled
.config file, too.
So, just drop the not-so-clever heuristic, and just build the toolchain
once, leaving to the user the responsibility to explictly ask Buildroot
to rebuild the toolchain.

The existing Microblaze toolchains that we have have the annoying
property of being based on a very old glibc version: 2.3.6. Xilinx
provides newer toolchains with glibc 2.14, generated by Crosstool-NG,
but they are only available as part of a huge Git repository that
contains the gcc, Linux, binutils, glibc sources unpacked (4.4 GB
total), which makes is very unpractical.
I contacted the Xilinx person who did those toolchains, but they
apparently didn't intend to change that anytime soon.
So, we have created a tarball for those toolchains, adding a
README.txt file in the tarball that points back to the original

The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.
This only works for a downloaded external toolchain. For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory). For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2012-February/050371.html
for information about others things to do to make the host directory
relocatable.

This commit fixes the exact same problem than
21a0c11a90, but for the gdbserver
build. The problem is that when you use the Crosstool-NG toolchain
backend, gawk gets built as a dependency of Crosstool-NG. So the gdb
configure scripts detects it, and assumes it is in the PATH (because
the gdb configure step gets run with TARGET_MAKE_ENV).
But then, the build fails, because it tries to run gawk, but gawk
isn't in the PATH, because we forget to use this TARGET_MAKE_ENV
variable when building gdbserver.

When building gdb for the host, we properly pass the PATH (through

for the compilation step.
The result of this is that when the Crosstool-NG backend is used, gawk
is built and installed in $(HOST_DIR), as a dependency of the
crosstool-ng package.
Then, the host gdb configure script detects this gawk binary
($(HOST_DIR) is in the PATH), and assumes gawk is
available. Unfortunately, during the compilation step, it fails to
find the expected gawk binary, because $(HOST_DIR) is no longer in the
PATH. This causes the following build failure:

providing fixes for it.
In addition to this, Buildroot is inherently a cross-compilation tool,

When an external toolchain without thread debug is used, the gdb

match any of the requirements. This leads Buildroot to try to build

following build log:

To fix this, we adjust the dependencies of the BR2_PACKAGE_GDB option
so that the package as a whole is not selectable when the required
conditions are not met. Basically, we have the choice of:
* Having a toolchain that supports thread debugging, which is needed
for gdb >= 7.x
* Having BR2_DEPRECATED enabled, which allows gdb 6.8 to be selected,
which doesn't require thread debugging
* Using bfin, since this architectures has a special old gdb version

Practically speaking, MIPS has three useful ABIs:
* o32 is for 32-bits CPUs, or 64-bit CPUs running only a 32-bit subset
of the instruction set.
* n32 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 32-bits pointers and long
integers.
* n64 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 64-bits pointers and long
integers.
See http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/MIPS_ABI_History and
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/WhatsWrongWithO32N32N64 for more
details.
So, this commit reworks the Buildroot MIPS support by:
* Add separate mips64/mips64el top-level architectures.
* Renaming the n32 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI32, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Renaming the n64 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI64, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Make the n32 and n64 ABI selections select the BR2_ARCH_IS_64,
since those ABIs are valid on 64-bits CPUs only.
* Removing the o64 ABI, which is practicaly never used.
* Removing the "none" ABI, which really doesn't make sense.
* Introduce the mips64 and mips64el architecture names when a 64-bits
MIPS ABI is choosen. This will fix build issue like
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9b8c5ea86c953a89e85e7b67e9221de41773f652/build-end.log
where gmp was confused by the fact of having a 32 bits architecture
(detected by the mips- architecture part of the tuple) but 64 bits
integer size when compiling.
* Adjust the uclibc.mk logic to support the new mips64/mips64el
architecture names, and take into account the renaming of the ABI
options.
This has been build tested by generating Buildroot toolchains and
compiling a few packages for MIPS o32, MIPS n32 and MIPS n64.

Commit ba92d6ef68 made hard float the

is that the newer Linaro toolchains (2012.05 and 2012.06) are
hard-float, so the default selection of soft-float enabled on ARM
doesn't work for those toolchains.
Unfortunately, not selecting soft-float causes problems with
the Crosstool-NG backend at the moment.
As an intermediate solution, make the soft float option disappear when
using external toolchain: the toolchain will decide by itself whether
to generate hard float or soft float code.

The check_glibc function verifies that the C library of the external
toolchain is glibc. To do so, it verified that a file matching
ld-linux*.so.* or ld.so.* was found in the lib/ directory of the
toolchain's sysroot. However, with the Linaro 2012.05 toolchain, the
lib/ directory contains two links named ld-linux-armhf.so.3 and
ld-linux.so.3, which means that the first ld-linux*.so.* wildcard
expression expands to two files, which generates a syntax error for
the "test" program. We replace that with a more elaborate find+wc
combination to determine whether at least one matching file is
present.
The check_arm_abi function verifies the ABI of an ARM toolchain. For
EABI, it tested that the target name ends with eabi. However, with
Linaro 2012.05, the tuple is now arm-linux-gnueabihf (for hard float),
so we have to adjust the logic to accept this additional "hf"
specification in the tuple.
