Generating locales is possible in two situations:
- With the internal toolchain backend, when the uClibc library is
used. With uClibc, locales are generated at build time of the C
library, so with uClibc it's only possible with the internal
toolchain backend.
- With either the internal or external toolchain backend when the
glibc library is used. With glibc, locales can be generated
afterwards, using the host-localedef utility.
Until we had the musl C library supported in the internal toolchain
backend, the condition: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT ||
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC was correct to capture the above two
situations. Now that we have musl support in the internal toolchain
backend, then BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT is incorrect, and we should use
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC instead.
Basic locale support in musl has appeared in musl 1.1.4, but we are
not yet capable of generating the locale files for musl.

GCC has several builtin functions that implement atomic operations. Those
functions are architecture specific and may not be implemented by the
specific toolchain. In case of GCC for ARC those functions rely on
LLOCK/SCOND instructions which are optional in ARC CPU's. If ARC CPU doesn't
support those instructions but software tries to use them, then application
will be aborted with Illegal instruction exception. To avoid confusion user
should first specify that their CPU supports atomic extension, which will
allow selection of packages that use builtin atomic functions.

As reported in bug #7172 [0], setting BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS to a value
containing a $ sign can lead to unexpected results.
This is because it is very hard to know when the $ sign gets evaluated:
- in the Buildroot-level make
- in the shell called by the Buildroot-level make
- in the package's own build-system, either at configure time, in the
Makefile, in a shell in the Makefile...
So, it is very difficult to know how much escaping that would need.
A proposal is to use a shell variable to pass such values unmolested.
But it is not that simple either, since it still contains a $ sign, and
there is not much certainty as to when it would be evaluated.
Instead, just document this limitation, both in the help text for
BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS, and in the known-issues section in the manual.
Does not really fix#7172, but at least the limitation is documented.

The gconv libraries are used to translate between different character sets

In (e)glibc they are implemented by the internal implemenation of iconv,

Note that some gconv modules need extra libraries (shared by more than

* Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL

BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of

Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library

would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden

exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.
Note that we have intentionally created only one option

essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

Commit ba92d6ef68 made hard float the
default when Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9. The problem it was trying to fix
is that the newer Linaro toolchains (2012.05 and 2012.06) are
hard-float, so the default selection of soft-float enabled on ARM
doesn't work for those toolchains.
Unfortunately, not selecting soft-float causes problems with
the Crosstool-NG backend at the moment.
As an intermediate solution, make the soft float option disappear when
using external toolchain: the toolchain will decide by itself whether
to generate hard float or soft float code.

Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 ARM cores are guaranteed to provide a hardware

In order to use locale support on a Linux system, you need locale data
to be present:
* on a (e)glibc based system, this data is typically in the
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive file, which can be created and
extended using the localedef program
* on an uClibc based system, the set of supported locales is defined
at build time by an uClibc configuration option.
This patch implements generating locale data for the following cases:
* Internal toolchain
* External toolchain based on (e)glibc. uClibc external toolchains
are not supported, because with uClibc, the set of supported
locales is defined at build time. CodeSourcery and Linaro
toolchains have been tested, Crosstool-NG toolchains are believed
to work properly as well.
* Toolchains built using the Crosstool-NG backend, but only (e)glibc
toolchains.
This feature was runtime tested with internal uClibc toolchain,
CodeSourcery ARM toolchain and Linaro ARM toolchain, thanks to a
simple C program that shows the data and a gettext translated message.
Note that this option differs from the "purge locales" option, which
is responsible for removing translation files and other locale stuff
installed by packages. At some point in the future, we may want to
clarify the respective roles of those options.

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.
