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
location that contains the source code for them. Those tarballs are
hosted on sources.buildroot.net.
This commit then adds support for those two new external toolchains,
one for little endian Microblaze, another one for big endian
Microblaze.

Basically, the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GLIBC option no longer
unconditionally selects BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC since there are
glibc toolchains that don't have RPC support. All the predefined
toolchain profiles are updated to take into account this change: for
the moment, all glibc toolchains that have pre-defined toolchains have
RPC support, but further patches in the series add pre-defined glibc
toolchains that don't have RPC support. In the case of custom glibc
toolchains, a question is asked to the user so that he can say whether
the external glibc toolchain has RPC support or not. The validity of
this configuration option is checked by the new
check_glibc_rpc_feature function in helpers.mk.

In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path

Linaro has just released a new pre-built toolchain, available as a
tarball, which is a pure toolchain (only the C library is
included). This makes this new Linaro 2012.01 toolchain usable in
Buildroot, so let's integrate the support for it.
In addition to simply adding the new external toolchain at the usual
locations, this patch allows need to adapt a few things to support
Linaro toolchains. Most toolchains store their libraries in the "lib/"
or "usr/lib" directories relative to the toolchain. Buildroot
toolchains on the other hand, store the libraries in the
"usr/<target-name>/lib" directory. And the Linaro toolchain has
choosen to use the "lib/<target-name>" directory. Therefore, this
patch adjust:
* The logic to search a particular library when that library needs to
be copied to the target directory
* The logic to deduce the sysroot directory from the libc.a file
location in the toolchain: removing "(usr/?)lib(64?)" is no longer
sufficient, we need to take into account the "lib/<target-name>/"
case.
Since the Linaro toolchain generates code for Cortex-A processors
only, the selection of this toolchain is limited to Cortex-A8 and
Cortex-A9.

Newer versions of GDB need pthread debugging support if threads are
enabled, which is always the case for glibc but is a configure option
for uClibc.
We have solved this for internal toolchains by selecting the
BR2_PTHREAD_DEBUG option from the GDB selection if needed, but as this
option isn't available when ctng/external toolchains are used, mconf
prints ugly warnings and the build may fail if an external uClibc
toolchain without pthread debugging support is used.
Fix it by introducing 2 more hidden config options:
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG
- BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED
The first tells us if the toolchain HAS pthreads debugging support,
and is checked by check_uclibc_feature in helper.mk for external uClibc
based toolchains.
The second tells us if the toolchain is ABLE TO provide pthreads debugging
support if threads are enabled, either because it's an internal toolchain
where we can force enable it or an external glibc/eglibc toolchain or
uClibc with the option enabled.
Crosstool-ng forcibly enables this support, so those will always work.
The preconfigured uClibc-based toolchains we have also all enable it.
Finally, show a comment if this isn't the case so the (external toolchain)
user knows why. This is placed outside the choice option, as menuconfig
has a bug where it doesn't show choice selections which only contain
comments.

The selection of linuxthreads, linuxthreads old or NPTL doesn't make a
lot of sense for external toolchains. So, instead, we :
* Introduce an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option, which must be
selected by toolchain specific options when thread support is
available. Package needing to test thread support should use this
option.
* Move the none/linuxthreads/linuxthreads old/NPTL selection to
Buildroot internal toolchain configuration.
* Add an option in external toolchain to tell if thread support is
available or not in the external toolchain. We assume that glibc
without threads is not possible, as Ulrich Drepper said in
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html
ffmpeg, dmalloc and openvpn are fixed to use the new
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS option. For openvpn, --enable-threads=posix
is no longer used, as the configure script doesn't even understand

Instead of having BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX and BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP, with
BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX not being visible (and therefore being useless),
let's just keep BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP to enable C++ in the toolchain
and install C++ libraries on the target.
We also take that opportunity to make BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP an hidden
option, which is selected by an option in Buildroot toolchain support
or an option in External toolchain support, just as we did for other
toolchain features.
Some work definitely remains to be done :
- The name BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP is ugly, but we keep it for the
moment in order to avoid changing all packages.
- We should clarify the other language-related options (Fortran,
Java, Objective-C, etc.).

Instead of letting the user define all the details of his external
toolchain, we define a set of profiles for well-known external
toolchains (CodeSourcery ones only at the moment, can easily be
extended with other toolchains).
Once a profile has been choosen, the user is offered the choice of
either letting Buildroot download and install the external toolchain,
or (as before) to tell Buildroot where the toolchain is installed on
the system.
We of course provide a "custom profile", through which the user can
configure Buildroot to use a custom external toolchain for which no
profile is available.

Turn BR2_LARGEFILE, BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, BR2_USE_WCHAR,
BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE and BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION into hidden options.
Then, for Buildroot toolchains, external toolchains and Crosstool-NG
toolchains, provide visible options that selects the hidden options.
This allows :
* To show a different label and help text in the case of Buildroot
toolchain (do you want to enable feature X ?) and in the case of
external toolchain (is feature X available in your toolchain ?)
* To not show any option when a glibc external toolchain is selected
(since glibc is assumed to support all of largefile, IPv6, RPC,
WCHAR, locale and program invocation) and have them all selected in
that case.
There is some amount of duplication between Buildroot toolchain config
options and Crosstool-NG toolchain config options, because kconfig
doesn't allow to source the same Config.in file twice (even if under
mutually exclusive conditions). This duplication is more readable that
the hack that consists in splitting files in multiple pieces.
However, this commit changes the name of the options visible in the
configuration interface, so existing .config files will have to be
updated accordingly.
