The Alpha, CRIS, IA64 and Sparc64 architectures have been marked as
deprecated during the previous release cycle. They are not widely used
in embedded systems and/or no longer supported by their manufacturers
and/or not properly supported in Buildroot.

The CRIS architecture support in Buildroot hasn't been updated since a
long time. Even a toolchain with recent kernel headers does not build
due to missing patches.
Moreover, the CRIS architecture has been discontinued by Axis, as
visible at http://www.axis.com/products/dev/index.htm. We will remove
it from Buildroot at the next release cycle.

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.

Those architectures don't exist anymore (Alpha, IA64) or aren't widely
used for embedded systems running Linux. Moreover, no clear Buildroot
maintainer has stepped in to maintain these architectures, so it's
better to not pretend that we support them.
The goal is to mark them as deprecated in 2010.08 and remove them in
2010.11.

This commit solves bug #1051. The problem in this bug in that WebKit
compiles a sample C program, which uses WebKit. As WebKit is written
in C++, even though the program it built with CROSS-gcc, it must be
linked with libstdc++. However, CROSS-gcc can't find the libstdc++ has
it's hidden inside <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib.
Therefore, this commit creates a symbolic link <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib
-> <sysroot>/lib before running the CROSS-gcc installation. While this
may look like a hack, this is the solution used by both Crosstool-NG
and OpenWRT.
Moreover, with this symbolic link in place, I think bug #1741 may also
be solved. The problem in this bug is that the linker tries to link
against /lib/libc.so.0. This is due to the fact that the linker finds
a libc.so script file in the original toolchain location and not
inside the copy of the toolchain sysroot in $(STAGING_DIR). As the
script file is found outside of the current toolchain sysroot, ld
considers the script has non-sysrooted, and therefore doesn't prefix
all paths found in the script file (such as /lib/libc.so.0) with the
sysroot path, leading to the failure.
So, in details, this commit :
* Adds a BR2_ARCH_IS_64 invisible config knob that is used to know if
the arch is a 64 bits architecture or not.
* Creates the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib -> <sysroot>/lib symbolic link,
and the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib64 -> <sysroot>/lib64 symbolic link if
needed.
* Fixes the external toolchain sysroot detection code so that the
'sed' replacement is done *after* the readlink -f evaluation.
I have tested this by building ARM, x86 and x86_64 toolchains with
Buildroot, and then use these toolchains as external toolchains to
build a full X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack. I have also done a
complete ARM Buildroot internal toolchain build with the same full
X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack.

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.

After the rework of the U-Boot configuration/compilation process, we
need to slightly rework how target/linux/Makefile.in.advanced depends
on mkimage on the host to produce an uImage.
target/linux/Makefile.in doesn't need to be fixed as it just doesn't
handle this dependency for the moment.

Otherwise u-boot tools / kernel modules are only added to target AFTER
the filesystems are built.
Long term u-boot/kernel stuff should get splitted from target/device,
but this is the safest solution for now.

In both internal and external toolchain cases, KERNEL_CROSS was
defined to *exactly* the same value as TARGET_CROSS. It isn't modified
anywhere, and is just used by kernel compilation and pcmcia
compilation.
Therefore, get rid of KERNEL_CROSS and use TARGET_CROSS instead.

We have a special case for Xtensa, which was patching the generic
device_table.txt. Instead of doing this, we just keep a copy of the
device table, specific to Xtensa, with Xtensa specifities. The fact
that the patch wasn't applying anymore on the generic device table is
a sign that the existing approach wasn't working anyway.

Since BR2_RECENT was enabled by default, we do not want entries marked
BR2_RECENT (and thus appearing by default in Buildroot) to disappear.
Therefore, all the entries marked BR2_RECENT are converted as
non-deprecated. We can later decide, on a per-entry basis, to add
BR2_DEPRECATED to some of them. But at least, this commit doesn't
change the default current behaviour of Buildroot.
