Following reports from me of build failures of the GDB simulator for the
Blackfin architecture, Waldemar cooked a
patch (0005-fix-sim-compile.patch) that removes the typedef of SIM_CPU,
because there was a redefinition of this typedef for Blackfin. This was
not causing an issue with recent compilers as redefining the same
typedef is valid with recent compilers, but was causing build failures
with gcc 4.4.x.
However, by removing the common definition of SIM_CPU, this patch broke
the build of the GDB simulator on other architectures, which did not had
an architecture-specific redefinition of SIM_CPU (unlike Blackfin).
The crux of the problem is in a commit from Mike Frysinger, that tries
to refactor the SIM_CPU definition into a common one. Except that it
leaves a redefinition of it for Blackfin. Removing this second
definition however doesn't easily work, due to include ordering
issues. The easiest solution is to simply revert the patch from Mike
Frysinger. This allows to fix the build for all architectures and all
compiler versions.

Starting with gdb 7.11, the bundled gnulib want to use rpl_gettimeofday
(gettimeofday replacement) due bad guessing when cross-compiling with musl
and uClibc toolchains. Instead of patching gnulib configure script to fix
the test, use gl_cv_func_gettimeofday_clobber=no to not use rpl_gettimeofday.

As reported in...
https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=8786
..., gdb fails to build with xz and expat support at the same time when
using an external toolchain.
This is how the problem is shown:
checking for liblzma... no
configure: error: missing liblzma for --with-lzma
And having a deeper look in gdb/config.log we can se a message like this
one:
/lib64/liblzma.so.5: undefined reference to `clock_gettime@GLIBC_2.17'
As Thomas said in the bug report quoted above, that error is related to
the fact that it find the host's lzma.
Adding --with-lzma-prefix=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr to GDB_CONF_OPTS fixes the
problem.

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should
not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12.
Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL
for ARC in uClibc.
That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it
(for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built
and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through
autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid
toolchain for release.
If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with
subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be
updated with it.
