The existing ccache infrastructure sets the cache directory hardcoded in the
ccache binary. As this directory was set to ~/.buildroot-ccache, the cache
is not necessarily local (e.g. in corporate environments the home directories
may be mounted over NFS.)
Previous versions of buildroot did allow to set the cache directory, but this
was also hardcoded (so you had to rebuild ccache to change it), plus that
support was removed.
See http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-July/044511.html for
a discussion on this.
This patch modifies ccache to respect a new shell variable (exported from
the Makefile, based on a configuration option) instead of CCACHE_DIR.
The name CCACHE_DIR itself is already used by autotargets for the ccache
package.

The BR2_ENABLE_DEBUG option selects the compilation and installation
of gdbserver on the target. This is a bit restrictive, especially for
external toolchains, which may already contain a gdbserver on the
target.

This allows ccache to re-use its cache contents even if the compiler
binary mtime has changed. It is the simplest approach to solve this
problem, and it works for the internal, external and crosstool-ng
toolchain backends.
Of course, it leaves the user responsible for invalidating the cache
when necessary, but there doesn't seem to be a real good solution that
allows both to: 1/ keep the cache contents accross builds and re-use
it and 2/ invalidate the cache automatically when the compiler chances
in an incompatible way.

Most of the host packages don't have to be exposed to the user as they
are only used as build dependencies of target packages.
However, some host utilities, such as flashing utilities, image
creation programs, specific debuggers, might be useful and should be
presented to the user.
Therefore, we have a new global menu, which lists those host
utilities. These utilities are described in package/*/Config.in.host
files, which will be sourced by package/Config.in.host.

This can be used this way :
<pkg>_VERSION = 42
<pkg>_SITE = file:///some/local/directory
<pkg>_SOURCE = mypkg-$(<pkg>_VERSION).tar.bz2
Can be useful to integrate a home-made project or for testing purposes.
The default command to retrieve files is 'cp' but 'rsync' could also be used.
Through sshfs, it should also be possible to get non-public remote files on a
ssh server.

The user can now create a custom local override file to override the
source directory for various packages.
An example override file:
ZLIB_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /tmp/zlib
STRACE_OVERRIDE_SRCDIR = /opt/strace-4.5.20
would tell Buildroot to use the zlib and strace source code from the
specified directories, instead of download, extracting and patching
the code has done usually by Buildroot.

The stripping options operate on the final image and not the intermediate
builds, so requiring stripping to be disabled just to enable debugging
options doesn't make much sense. Especially when working with gdbserver:
only the host needs the debugging information to be available. The board
can run & debug perfectly fine without it.

The configuration cache shared between packages, while being in
principle a nice idea to speed-up the configuration of packages by
avoiding repetitive identical checks, turned out to be unreliable due
to the subtle differences between similar but not identical checks in
different packages. After spending some time trying to fix those, we
concluded that supporting the shared configuration cache is definitely
too hard and too unreliable, and that we'd better get rid of it
altogether.
This patch therefore removes the shared configuration cache
infrastructure and usage.

This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.
