It was supposed to be the support for AT91SAM9260 using a parallel flash
(instead of the usual dataflash). But the provided U-Boot configuration
at91sam9260pf.h was not used anywhere, and it was unsufficient to add
correct support in U-Boot (some changes in U-Boot Makefile would also be
needed). Additionnally, this configuration has not been merged into U-Boot
upstream since 2007 (when it was added to Buildroot).
Therefore, let's get rid of this configuration. If some users are
interested, we can re-introduce it properly with their help.

Minimize the board defconfig, remove custom busybox configuration,
custom kernel configuration (use the kernel defconfig instead), custom
device table and target skeleton. The only difference in the target
skeleton was the support of mdev and the usage of an automount
script. Instead of adding this in a board-specific way, we should
provide board-independent configuration options. There are already
patches contributed to add support for mdev.

Minimize atngw100_defconfig, remove atngw100-base_defconfig, and
remove the target skeleton and device table. Instead of having
complete copies of new target skeletons (making them hard to
maintain), we should just have a post-build script that
adds/removes/tweaks the existing target skeleton.
Moreover, most of the tweaks in this target skeleton were for specific
packages, but the policy now is that board defconfig should just build
a basic root filesystem with Busybox, and let the user select
whichever set of packages (s)he wants.

Those are not associated with any specific hardware system (PC or
another i386 system). Moreover, the fact that those configurations
require the build of a JFFS2 filesystem, very uncommon on PC systems,
seems to indicate that those configurations are not really being used
today.
It would make more sense to have a qemu_i388_defconfig (building a
kernel with just the device drivers for Qemu) and possibly a
pc_i386_defconfig (building a kernel with many device drivers, and a
bootloader such as Grub or Grub 2).
We also remove the corresponding kernel configuration files.

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 modifies current toolchain build sequence so that
NPTL enabled toolchain can be built. The new sequence works
well with linuxthreads as well.
It introduces a new pass for gcc cross compilation. The new
sequence is binutils->gcc-initial->linux-headers -> uclibc-configured
(some cheats to generate phony shared libc.so and libm.o)
-> gcc-intermediate(with shared lib support) -> uclibc -> gcc-final
I also added a new sample config arm_nptl_toolchain_defconfig which
builds the toolchain and busybox.
I have only tried it on arm. However it should work for other
architectures which support NPTL on uclibc e.g. mips, sh, x86, ppc, x86_64

Supporting multilib is much more than just passing --enable-multilib
to gcc. You have to actually build the C library several times (once
for each multilib variant you want to support in your toolchain), and
to pass MULTILIB_OPTIONS/MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS values to gcc to let it
know the set of multilib variants you're interested in.
Since we'll probably never support multilib toolchains in Buildroot,
just get rid of this BR2_ENABLE_MULTILIB option.

This is a very advanced option, and it seems, according to

The buildroot/busybox/uClibc VM is running low on disk space, and we've
been asked to move the source mirrors off-site.
A redirect has been setup between the old buildroot.net/downloads/sources/
and sources.buildroot.net, so old .configs continue to work, but we might
as well use the official one now.

atngw100_defconfig: update to fix build failure:
* The AVR32 toolchain fails to build with the new uClibc version
0.9.31.x. Use the older uClibc 0.9.30.x branch instead.
* Disable linux-fusion as it fails to build
(why was this selected anyway, when DirectFB was not selected?).
* U-Boot 2010.03 is broken for AVR32. The build fails with:
zlib.c:31:27: error: asm/unaligned.h: No such file or directory
Select the older U-Boot 2009.08 version that builds instead.
* Disable rsync as it fails to build.
Build tested with 'make distclean && make atngw100_defconfig && make'
on an Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 host.

The Kconfig menu "Pixel depths" of Qt provides a list with all
selectable pixel depths and additionally the option "all".
When "all" is selected, the list with all available pixel depths
disappears.
Because this disappearing of available pixel depths makes no sense
under usability aspects, simply remove the option "all".
The user could enable all available pixel depths by selecting each
individual depth anyway. So no functionality is lost.
