AMD Jaguar ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_%28microarchitecture%29 ) is
suddenly a popular architecture since it is used in the PS4 and the XBox One.
Many embedded systems are also likely to use it in the next years.
This patch adds support for GCC architecture-specific optimisations and
tuning for these CPUs.
These optimizations are available with GCC 4.8+.

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.

Some Config.in(.host) files have constructs like:
config FOO_VERSION
string
default "1.0" if FOO_1_0
default "2.0" if FOO_2_0
default $FOO_CUSTOM_VERSION if FOO_CUSTOM
The dollar sign here is not needed and confusing, so can be removed.

While the idea of skipping the intermediate gcc step seems to work
fine in most situations, it causes problems with the SSP
support. Until we can figure out a proper solution for this problem,
we need to revert back to the previous solution of a three stages
build.

The mudflap library is only useful if one uses the -fmudflap gcc
option to do more checks on pointers/arrays. This commit adds an
option to enable/disable mudflap support at the gcc level. By default,
it is disabled, which saves a little bit of build time compared to the
default of gcc which consists in enabling mudflap support.
Since mudflap is now disabled by default, and ensured to never be enabled
on platforms where it is not available, some gcc.mk code that was used to
disable mudflap in problematic configurations can be removed.
Whether -fmudflap is used when building is left to the user.

The support for eglibc 2.17 was added to the internal toolchain
backend for 2013.08. This commit now adds glibc 2.18 support to the
internal toolchain backend.
Since the building procedure is very similar to the one of eglibc, we
have renamed the 'eglibc' package to 'glibc', and made it capable of
handling either glibc or eglibc.

The option to enable C++ support was still located in
toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in.2, with misc other toolchain
options. It seems more logical to have this option with the other
options to select the languages supported by the cross-compiler, so we
move it next to the Fortran/Objective-C options in
package/gcc/Config.in.host.

This commit fixes the Objective-C support in the gcc package by making
sure that the runtime Objective-C library is properly installed to the
target.
It also takes this opportunity to slightly reword the Config.in option
help text to have a more meaningful explanation.
Finally, it fixes the gcc-final.mk code to use the correct
BR2_INSTALL_OBJC option rather than the non-existing
BR2_GCC_CROSS_OBJC option, to decide whether Objective-C support
should be enabled or not in the cross-compiler.

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.

When refactoring the internal toolchain backend logic, the code was
changed to pass the custom configure options given through
BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS only for the gcc final pass, with the
idea that we're only interested by user customization for the final
compiler.
However, the beaglebone_defconfig was passing --with-float=hard
--with-fpu=vfpv3-d16 as BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS, and since the
refactoring, it was causing build failures of the beaglebone_defconfig
(with messages saying that Busybox is built to use VFP arguments, but
libc/libm are not). This is due to the fact that the gcc intermediate,
which is used to build the C library, wasn't built to generate hard
float, while the final compiler was generating hard float.
So, we get back to the original situation where the options in
BR2_EXTRA_GCC_CONFIG_OPTIONS are passed to all of the compiler
passes. Of course, the specific case of hard float will be fixed by
following patches in this area, but the idea still remains: the three
gcc should have the same options, if those options affected the ABI of
the generated code.

Commit 6b48b48034 ("add a know to enable/disable building a shared
libgcc"), from october 2006, isn't really as to why a
BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC option was needed. However, now that gcc has
been converted to the package infrastructure, it causes problems
because the host packages are always being passed --enable-shared
--disable-static, so re-adding --disable-shared on top of that break
things.
Moreover, our tests indicate that both a shared *and* a static version
of libgcc are built, and that linking dynamically and statically a
program that uses libgcc_s gives correct results: dynamically linked
against libgcc_s in the first case, statically linked in the second
case.
Therefore, it appears that this option is no longer necessary, and
removing it has the advantage of fixing the builds of
qemu_mips64_malta_defconfig and qemu_sparc_ss10_defconfig, both of
which had BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC not enabled.

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.
