Bump all the linux kernel version to the latest available and add a
help note for all of them with the release data and status.
The long-term stable 2.6.27 kernel is really out of date (.27 -> .45).

Probing the kernel version uses command substitution to capture the
result of a make command. If the top-level make is run with -C, the
sub-make will print entering/leaving directory messages, mucking up the
output we're trying to capture.
Invoke the sub-make with --no-print-directory so we get clean output.

The "project" feature was designed to allow to several projects to be
built inside the same Buildroot source tree and allowing the toolchain
and non-configurable packages to be shared between the different
projects on the same architecture. While being interesting in theory,
this feature adds a level of complexity to Buildroot, both from an
user perspective and from a developer perspective, while one of the
main Buildroot strengh is to be simple. Moreover, this feature is only
seldomly used by our users.
From a user-level perspective, this for example allows to remove the
project_build_ARCH directory, which was very confusing. The
autotools-stamps directory is also removed, since these stamps are
back at their normal location.
Description of the changes involved :
* project/, directory removed
* Makefile
- Don't include project/Makefile.in and project/project.mk anymore
- Grab a copy of the contents of project/Makefile.in at the
location it was imported, but remove the definition related to
PROJECT_BUILD_DIR. The TARGET_DIR is now in
$(BUILD_DIR)/target_dir
- Remove the creation/removal of the $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR) and
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps directories
- Don't make world depends on target-host-info. This target was
defined by project/project.mk to customize /etc/issue,
/etc/hostname and create /etc/br-version depending on the
project definitions. We can of course imagine re-adding such a
feature later.
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR everywhere
- Remove the update, log and lognr.$(PROJECT) target, they were
specific to the project feature.
* package/Makefile.autotools.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
- Move the INSTALL_TARGET and HOOK_POST_INSTALL stamps to the same
directory as the other stamps (i.e, in the package directory).
* package/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR for the location of the
configure cache
* package/at/at.mk,
package/busybox/busybox.mk,
package/busybox/initramfs.mk,
package/customize/customize.mk,
package/linux-fusion/linux-fusion.mk,
package/ltp-testsuite/ltp-testsuite.mk,

target/romfs/romfs.mk,
target/squashfs/squashfsroot.mk,

- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
* target/device/Config.in
- Do not include project/Config.in anymore
* target/linux/Makefile.in.advanced
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Store the stamps file in $(STAMP_DIR) instead of
$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/autotools-stamps
* target/u-boot/Makefile.in
- Replace PROJECT_BUILD_DIR by BUILD_DIR
- Remove $(PROJECT) from the U-Boot target binary name
- Remove the insertion in the configuration of the project name as
the hostname
- The u-boot-autoscript target now generates
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).img instead of
$(U_BOOT_AUTOSCRIPT).$(PROJECT)
* toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-3.x.mk
toolchain/gcc/gcc-uclibc-4.x.mk
- Move the stamps files to $(STAMP_DIR)

Using TARGET_CFLAGS breaks the kernel build for the arm platform. The
result is a kernel that can not be booted. So simply do not fiddle with
the CFLAGS on a kernel build and the kernel build system will do the
right thing (TM).

Fix several issues causing final part of linux to be regenerated
on each make.
to allow packages which assumes that LINUX26_DIR
and the /lib/modules/LINUX_VERSION use
the consistent version numbering to build.
Create a file ".linux-version" containing
the real linux version in $(PROJECT_B UILD_DIR)
to allow packages to read the correct linux version
if an uImage is to be built for arm, avr32, blackfin and sh.
PATH has therefore been set to have $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin
as the first item allowing linux to find mkimage.
This patch will, if an uImage is built, create a "u-boot-toóls"
directory in the PROJECT_BUILD_DIR directory.
$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/mkimage is copied to this directory
and the PATH variable will now include "u-boot-tools"
If an uImage is built, then the linux build will now depend on "u-boot".
