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.

When an external toolchain without thread debug is used, the gdb
package can be selected, but no version can be choosen, since none
match any of the requirements. This leads Buildroot to try to build
gdb for the target without a version being defined, as in the
following build log:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/84e8fd2df0cc22448052a572c2e9a6e03dd137eb/build-end.log
To fix this, we adjust the dependencies of the BR2_PACKAGE_GDB option
so that the package as a whole is not selectable when the required
conditions are not met. Basically, we have the choice of:
* Having a toolchain that supports thread debugging, which is needed
for gdb >= 7.x
* Having BR2_DEPRECATED enabled, which allows gdb 6.8 to be selected,
which doesn't require thread debugging
* Using bfin, since this architectures has a special old gdb version

Practically speaking, MIPS has three useful ABIs:
* o32 is for 32-bits CPUs, or 64-bit CPUs running only a 32-bit subset
of the instruction set.
* n32 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 32-bits pointers and long
integers.
* n64 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 64-bits pointers and long
integers.
See http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/MIPS_ABI_History and
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/WhatsWrongWithO32N32N64 for more
details.
So, this commit reworks the Buildroot MIPS support by:
* Add separate mips64/mips64el top-level architectures.
* Renaming the n32 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI32, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Renaming the n64 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI64, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Make the n32 and n64 ABI selections select the BR2_ARCH_IS_64,
since those ABIs are valid on 64-bits CPUs only.
* Removing the o64 ABI, which is practicaly never used.
* Removing the "none" ABI, which really doesn't make sense.
* Introduce the mips64 and mips64el architecture names when a 64-bits
MIPS ABI is choosen. This will fix build issue like
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9b8c5ea86c953a89e85e7b67e9221de41773f652/build-end.log
where gmp was confused by the fact of having a 32 bits architecture
(detected by the mips- architecture part of the tuple) but 64 bits
integer size when compiling.
* Adjust the uclibc.mk logic to support the new mips64/mips64el
architecture names, and take into account the renaming of the ABI
options.
This has been build tested by generating Buildroot toolchains and
compiling a few packages for MIPS o32, MIPS n32 and MIPS n64.

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.

The check_glibc function verifies that the C library of the external
toolchain is glibc. To do so, it verified that a file matching
ld-linux*.so.* or ld.so.* was found in the lib/ directory of the
toolchain's sysroot. However, with the Linaro 2012.05 toolchain, the
lib/ directory contains two links named ld-linux-armhf.so.3 and
ld-linux.so.3, which means that the first ld-linux*.so.* wildcard
expression expands to two files, which generates a syntax error for
the "test" program. We replace that with a more elaborate find+wc
combination to determine whether at least one matching file is
present.
The check_arm_abi function verifies the ABI of an ARM toolchain. For
EABI, it tested that the target name ends with eabi. However, with
Linaro 2012.05, the tuple is now arm-linux-gnueabihf (for hard float),
so we have to adjust the logic to accept this additional "hf"
specification in the tuple.

Decimal floats were introduced circa gcc-4.2 or -4.3, and requires
the floating-point environement fenv.h in the C library.
The uClibc .config file used by crosstool-NG to build uClibc is the
same as used by the internal buildroot mechanism, and explcitly
disables fenv support.
The quick workaround is to simply disable decimal floats in all
crosstool-NG config files.
In the long run, it might be better to check this situation, and/or
add code and/or options in crosstool-NG to handle this (but it is
much more involved, and this workaround is sane).

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.

When the crosstool-ng backend is used, host-gawk is built as a
dependency of the crosstool-ng package, and therefore an host 'gawk'
binary is installed in $(HOST_DIR).
When the target gdb package is also selected, this unfortunately leads
to a build failure, as reported on
http://buildroot.humanoidz.org/results/f19c0499d08212d8b5100fa9434e1197092957db/build-end.log.
The problem is that the ./configure of gdb detects gawk in the PATH,
but at compile time, it fails to find gawk. This is due to the fact
that the gdb compilation process is started without the correct path.
This patch fixes this by passing $(TARGET_MAKE_ENV) in the environment
of the gdb compilation process.
A better fix would be to switch gdb to the AUTOTARGETS infrastructure

Therefore, we add some logic to detect if such a separate directory is

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.
