Unfortunately, the official Blackfin toolchains are built without the
shadow password support, so our default Busybox configuration fails to
build.
Therefore, we introduce a new hidden knob
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SHADOW_PASSWORDS, which is set to yes for Buildroot
internal toolchain, for toolchains generated by the Crosstool-NG
backend, for Glibc external toolchains and for Uclibc custom external
toolchains. It is left unset by the Blackfin toolchain profile.

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.

Handle the internal toolchain backend mechanism the
same way we handle other backends.

Rename the external toolchain directory.
When new backends are here, it will be easier to sort them out
if they are all prefixed the same way.

that the options become visible just below
the config, instead of at bottom of screen
Create a more useful default as toolchain path.
Allow generation of a script which sets up
paths to a binary toolchain generated by buildroot.
We used to use different gdb configs for internal and external toolchains
because mconf won't source the same file twice. This works, but is kind of
sub optimal, as people forget to keep them in sync.
Fix it to use the same file for both situations by shuffling around the
config options a bit. Should work identical to before (except for the newer
gdb versions available for ext).
0000047: ARM BigEndian does not allow Soft Float
When ARMEB is selected for the arch I am unable to select soft float support.
The toolchain/Config.in does not have a depend for armeb, it just has arm.
The attached patch should cover it.
