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

This combination causes a compilation failure of the host-gcc-final
recipe like this one:
/br/output/host/usr/mips-buildroot-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
.libs/gload.o: relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `__gnu_local_gp' can not
be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
The problem is the file 'libatomic/gload.c' is compiled without -fPIC
when using binutils-2.25. All gcc (with libatomic) versions below 4.9.3
are affected by this issue.
Here is a summary of affected/unaffected versions in Buildroot:
4.7.x: unaffected (doesn't have libatomic)
4.8.x: affected
4.9.x: unaffected (we have 4.9.3 which is fixed)
5.1.x: unaffected
The fix can be found here:
57f5c0954f
However, given the following reasons...
- Upstream gcc 4.8 branch is closed.
- The fix is very hard to backport from 4.9 to 4.8.
- This stuff is insanely sensitive and not working at all could be
better than looking like it works but not quite.
...I think the best choice is to disable that combination in Buildroot.

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.

This commit adds support for gcc 5.1 in Buildroot. In terms of gcc
patches, compared to gcc 4.9.x:
* Kept as is, sometimes after minor adjusments:
100-uclibc-conf.patch
301-missing-execinfo_h.patch
810-arm-softfloat-libgcc.patch
830-arm_unbreak_armv4t.patch
840-microblaze-enable-dwarf-eh-support.patch
850-libstdcxx-uclibc-c99.patch
860-cilk-wchar.patch
* Dropped:
110-pr64896.patch
111-pr65730.patch
* Split in multiple parts:
900-musl-support.patch
The patches from Crosstool-NG for muls support are used instead of
one single patch.
* Renamed:
910-gcc-poison-system-directories.patch to
200-gcc-poison-system-directories.patch
920-libgcc-remove-unistd-header.patch to
201-libgcc-remove-unistd-header.patch
Since the 9xx part of the series is now used by the various musl
related patches.
We have tested the following configurations, with a minimal Busybox
system:
* ARM, uClibc-ng
* ARM, glibc
* ARM, musl
* x86, uClibc-ng and uClibc 0.9.33.2
* x86, glibc
* x86, musl
All of the configurations built fine. All the configurations boot fine
in Qemu, except x86/uClibc (either ng or 0.9.33.2), it segfaults when
running init:
devtmpfs: mounted
Freeing unused kernel memory: 300K (c1389000 - c13d4000)
init[1]: segfault at 0 ip b77708c1 sp bfa9bb0c error 4 in ld-uClibc-0.9.33.2.so[b776c000+6000]
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x0000000b
We'll give some time for the uClibc developers to fix the problem
before taking other measures in Buildroot to exclude gcc 5.1 from a
x86/uClibc configuration.

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with
LTO support.
Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to
GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag
globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag
if it does.
To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the
usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead
provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way
existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these
wrappers are called <tuple>-gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the
buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain
logic is updated to provide the correct symlink.
[Thomas:
- Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO
support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke
directly into gcc Config.in options.
- Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't
support anymore.
- Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer
mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in
Buildroot anyway.
- Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.]

Now when new shiny tools are released by Synopsys we're ready for

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
Binutils are still based on 2.23 so following patch still makes sense:
* 600-poison-system-directories.patch

Those gcc series are old and are not used as the default versions for
any of the architectures we support, so this commit gets rid of them.
The gcc 4.3.x series technically remains used by the LPC32xx
defconfigs we have:
configs/ea3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
configs/fdi3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
configs/phy3250_defconfig:BR2_GCC_VERSION_4_3_X=y
Back when those defconfigs were introduced, gcc 4.3 was chosen because
it was the only one capable of building a fully working kernel for
those ARM-based platforms. However, the original submitter, Alexandre
Belloni, no longer has access to the hardware platforms, so he is
unable to test if newer gcc versions have fixed the problem. It
certainly doesn't make sense to keep gcc 4.3.x just for those three
boards, so we'll wait for someone actually using those defconfigs to
complain.
