Commit [1] enabled glibc on or1k since it's now supported but it
requires a toolchain with linux-headers >= 5.4.
From [2]:
"Here we define the minumum linux kernel version at 5.4.0, as that is the
long term support version where 32-bit architectures start to support
64-bit time API's. The OpenRISC kernel had some bugs up until version 5.8
which caused issues with glibc fork/clone, they have been backported to
5.4 but not previous versions."
Fixes:

This is perhaps the most controversial change for Buildroot that can
be written in a two-liner.
Historically, we have used uClibc as our default C library, as
Buildroot was created initially as a test-bed for uClibc, and also
because uClibc made a lot of sense for embedded Linux systems, due to
its smaller size and fine-grained configurability.
Since then, the landscape of embedded Linux systems has changed. Even
though Buildroot happily supports really low-end devices, the vast
majority of Buildroot users are quite certainly running the resulting
system on a reasonably powerful platform, with significant amount of
RAM and storage. In this context, the benefits of uClibc are no longer
that much relevant, and glibc causes less "troubles". Therefore, this
patch proposes to use glibc as our default C library when using the
internal toolchain backend instead of uClibc.
Of course, we will keep the support for uClibc, which remains an
important C library choice, for space-constrained systems, or simply
for architectures that are not supported by glibc.

Back many years ago, we developed an Eclipse plugin that simplified
the usage of Buildroot toolchains. Enabling the BR2_ECLIPSE_REGISTER=y
was registering the Buildroot toolchain into a special file in your
HOME folder that the Eclipse plugin would recognize to allow to
directly use the Buildroot cross-compiler.
This Eclipse plugin has not been maintained for years. The last commit
in the repository dates back from September 2017. Since then Eclipse
has moved on, and the plugin is no longer compatible with current
versions of Eclipse.
Also, Eclipse is probably no longer that widely used in the embedded
Linux space, as other more modern IDEs have become more popular.
All in all, it's time to say good bye to this Eclipse integration.

Until now, when BR2_CCACHE=y, ccache support was built into the
toolchain wrapper, and used regardless of whether the toolchain is
using during the Buildroot build itself, or later as part of the SDK.
However, having ccache support forcefully enabled in the SDK can
really be surprising, and is certainly unexpected for a
cross-compilation toolchain. This can be particularly surprising as
the ccache cache directory may be hardcoded in the ccache binary to
point to a folder that does not make sense on the SDK user's machine.
So what this commit does is create a BR2_USE_CCACHE variable, which
when set to 1 tells the toolchain wrapper to use ccache. Not defining
the variable, or specifying any other value that 1 causes the
toolchain wrapper to not use ccache. The main Buildroot Makefile is
modified to export BR2_USE_CCACHE = 1 when ccache support is enabled,
so that ccache is used during the Buildroot build.
However, when someone will use the SDK outside of Buildroot, the
toolchain wrapper will not use ccache.
The BR2_USE_CCACHE variable is only conditionally enabled in the main
Makefile (via ?=) so that it can be overridden in the environment if
one wants to quickly test disabling ccache in a ccache-enabled
Buildroot configuration. This is the scenario that was considered in
commit 792f1278e3 ("toolchain-wrapper:
support change of BR2_CCACHE"), which added the BR_NO_CCACHE variable.
The BR_NO_CCACHE variable is no longer needed, and replaced by this
BR2_USE_CCACHE variable.

The MMU option is currently located in the "Toolchain" menu, but it
doesn't make sense as it's really architecture related. In addition,
the selection of MMU has an impact on the choice of binary format
available, which is visible in the architecture menu.
Therefore, this commit moves the MMU option into the architecture
menu.
However, if we simply move it in arch/Config.in, it means that we
would have the following order of options:
Target architecture
Target architecture variant
ABI
MMU
Binary format
But really, the MMU option should be right below the Target
architecture variant, and the available ABIs derived from that.
The variant and ABI are arch-specfic, and defined in the per-arch
Config.in fragments; a Kconfig option can have only one prompt defined,
even under conditions, and appears at the place in the menu where its
prompt was defined. So, there is no (easy) possibility to have a
generic option appear where we want it.
Since in fact only 2 architectures show a visible prompt for the MMU
option (RISC-V and Xtensa), we move this option in
arch/Config.in.riscv and arch/Config.in.xtensa.
Some walkthrough the commit:
- BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY and BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_OPTIONAL are
removed as they are no longer needed
- BR2_USE_MMU becomes a hidden boolean
- All the places where we used to select BR2_ARCH_HAS_MMU_MANDATORY
now select BR2_USE_MMU directly.
- Introduce BR2_RISCV_USE_MMU and BR2_XTENSA_USE_MMU.
- All defconfigs that used "# BR2_USE_MMU is not set" are switched to
using the new option.
All in all, this simplifies things quite a bit, and allows to have a
good option ordering in the Target architecture menu.
This commit might raise a concern in terms of backward compatibility
with existing configurations. The only configurations that will be
broken by this change are RISC-V noMMU (which was very recently
introduced) and Xtensa noMMU (which we can probably agree is not such
a widely popular configuration).

Currently, glibc depends on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS in all the toolchain
variants.
However, for some architectures, glibc is the only supported libc. In
commit 3b3105328e ("Config.in: only
allow BR2_STATIC_LIBS on supported libc/arch"), we implemented a fix
to avoid configurations were BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y with an architecture
already supported by glibc, because these configurations are
impossible. This commit 3b3105328e
prevents from selecting BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y when the C library used for
the internal toolchain backend is glibc.
However, it introduces a discrepency between how this topic is handled
for internal and external toolchains:
- For internal toolchains, we prevent BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y if glibc is
chosen.
- For external toolchains, we allow BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y in all cases,
and it's each glibc toolchain that has !BR2_STATIC_LIBS
This commit addresses this discrepency by preventing BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y
if glibc is chosen in all cases.
Thanks to this, we can remove the !BR2_STATIC_LIBS dependency on both
the glibc package, and all glibc external toolchains.

In commit fd839aeb7f ("package/glibc:
introduce and use BR2_PACKAGE_GLIBC_ARCH_SUPPORTS and
BR2_PACKAGE_GLIBC_SUPPORTS") we moved the Config.in logic about glibc
dependencies from toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in into
package/glibc/Config.in.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to move the Config.in comments that
tell the user, within the choice..endchoice for the C library why
glibc is not currently selectable, so we had to keep them in
toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in.
Turns out that the comments were out of sync with the dependencies,
and two comments were missing. This commit adds the missing ones, and
adds a comment in package/glibc/Config.in explaining that we need to
be careful about updating toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in as
well.

There is no need to have configuration files direbtly set the
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT option. The need for the elf2flt utility is
automatically determined by gcc build in package/gcc/gcc.mk according to
the BR2_BINFMT_FLAT option.
Accordingly, we can remove the file package/elf2flt/Config.in.host to
get rid of the BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT option. BR2_STRIP_strip
dependency on this option is replaced with a dependency on
BR2_BINFMT_ELF.
To stay consistent with the fact that elf2flt supports only the arm, sh,
sparc, xtensa and riscv-64 architectures, a dependency on these
architectures is added to the BR2_BINFMT_FLAT option in arch/Config.in.
Board configuration files setting the BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_ELF2FLT option
are also updated.

Some external toolchains do not have gdbserver available, but the
option BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY is always visible. And
when enabled, this option aborts with an error when gdbserver cannot
be found:
Could not find gdbserver in external toolchain
Due to that, some random configurations fail to build when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY=y, for example with the Bootlin
toolchains for Microblaze or OpenRISC (because there's no GDB support
for those architectures).
One solution could be to make "Could not find gdbserver in external
toolchain" a warning instead of a hard error, but then nobody would
notice about this issue, in cases where it should legitimately abort
with a hard error.
So, the clean solution would be to add a
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_GDBSERVER. But that means all existing
external toolchains would have to be modified to select this option.
Instead, and as an exception, we chose to use inverted logic, and
create an option that is the opposite:
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_NO_GDBSERVER. By default, we assume
external toolchains have gdbserver. If
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_NO_GDBSERVER is enabled, we disallow the
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GDB_SERVER_COPY option.
Note that the case of custom external toolchain does not matter: by
definition they are not tested by the autobuilders, and by definition,
we cannot know in menuconfig if the custom toolchain has or does not
have gdbserver. We could make a user-visible option for it, but that
adds no value over simply erroring out because the gdbserver binary
can't be found.
Similarly, we could add
default y if BR2_PACKAGE_GDB_ARCH_SUPPORTS
but that would make it impossible for someone to include a custom
gdbserver in their external toolchain, and gives no benefit at all.

Until commit "arch/Config.in.sh: fixup MMU selection" in this series,
SH2A could either be used with BR2_USE_MMU disabled or BR2_USE_MMU
enabled.
The later made absolutely no sense, since SH2A does not have a MMU:
MMU support was introduced starting from SH3 according to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperH#SH-3
Also, since commit 22d5501e03 ("arch:
tidy up binary formats config"), which was merged in Buildroot
2015.05, the architecture tuple used when BR2_sh2a=y and BR2_USE_MMU
disabled is sh2a-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc, and this was already
unsupported back in the days of Buildroot 2015.08 and binutils 2.24,
causing the build to fail with:
*** BFD does not support target sh2a-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc.
just like it fails to build today with recent version of binutils.
So, this has been broken since 2015.08, and nobody complained. SH2A is
seldom used, so it's time to kill it.
It is worth mentioning that there had been an attempt at resurrecting
SH2 support around 2015 (see https://lwn.net/Articles/647636/) as part
of the J2 core. This effort led to the addition of FDPIC support for
SH2A in the musl C library (and therefore proper ELF binaries, with
shared libraries), but that was never supported in Buildroot. Now that
the J2 project is essentially dead, there is no reason to bother with
this.
