fb6dd8f49b toolchain: Allow ld64.so linker
The glibc dynamic linkers for ppc64 and s390x are named ld64.so.*
so modify the check_glibc test to match them.

1247850d44 toolchain-external: add a specific check to avoid Angstrom toolchains
The Angstrom toolchains available at
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/toolchains/ are not usable as
external toolchains in Buildroot, because they are not pure toolchains
with just the C library, but instead complete SDKs with many
cross-compiled libraries (Gtk, Qt, glib, neon, sqlite, X.org, and many
more, approximately 200 MB of libraries).

Buildroot cannot use such toolchains, and while this is documented in
our manual, some users still try to do this. Today, one such user came
on the IRC channel, reporting a build problem, which we started
investigating, only to realize after a long time that he was using an
Angstrom toolchain.

To avoid this problem in the future, we explicitly check if the
toolchain is from Angstrom by looking at the vendor part of the tuple
exposed by the toolchain: as soon as it is
<something>-angstrom-<something-else>, we reject the toolchain with an
explanation.

ccc82214f6 toolchain-external: improve target library copy logic
The copy_toolchain_lib_root function is responsible for copying a
given library (and its symbolic link) to the target filesystem. To do
so, it looks for the library in various locations, and then iterates
over the symbolic link all the way to the library, copying them as
needed to the target filesystem.

However, the latest Linaro toolchains bring an interesting use case:
the lib/ directory in the toolchain is organized as follows:

 - ld-linux.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabi/ld-2.17...so
 - ld-linux-armhf.so.3 -> arm-linux-gnueabihf/ld-2.17...so
 - arm-linux-gnueabi/
   - all ARMv4T soft float libraries
 - arm-linux-gnueabihf/
   - all ARMv7 hard float libraries

In order to match what we do with all other toolchains, we want all
those libraries and symbolic links to be copied directly under
$(TARGET_DIR)/lib. This commit does that by adjusting the copy logic.

This is part of the fix for bug #6452 (eglibc from Linaro 2013.07 not
copied to target correctly).

a1d94aaa3a toolchain-external: add support for musl C library
This commit adds support for external toolchains based on the musl C
library, as available from http://www.musl-libc.org.

Note that the pre-built musl toolchains available from
http://musl.codu.org/ are not working for the moment, since they lack
sysroot support. However, this problem has been reported to the
maintainer, who has already added sysroot support in his scripts at
https://bitbucket.org/GregorR/musl-cross, and therefore the next
version of the pre-built toolchains should work with Buildroot
out-of-the-box. In the mean time, the musl-cross script must be used
to build the toolchain.

8e05ebca22 toolchain: do not check largefile, wchar, IPv6 and locale for glibc toolchains
The check_glibc function contained checks to verify that the user had
properly enabled the largefile, IPv6, locale and wchar options, to
match how glibc is configured. This was useful when the support for
glibc external toolchains was introduced, but since then, we added the
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC symbol that automatically enables largefile,
IPv6, locale and wchar support when a glibc or eglibc external
toolchain is used. Therefore, many of the check_glibc checks are
useless now, so we can remove these.

2e0cd951fe toolchain: fix the helpers.mk comment
This commit fixes various typos and mistakes in the comment at the top
of the helpers.mk file:

 * usefull -> useful

 * The optional stripping of libraries no longer exists, so there's no
   reason to mention it.

 * Indicate that the copy_toolchain_lib_root function is also used by
   the glibc package, not only by the external toolchain logic.

 * Separate more clearly the top comment introducing the entire file,
   from the comment introducing the first function.

186a99b1c6 toolchain: modify the wildcard logic for shared libraries copying
Until now, the copy_toolchain_lib_root function took as argument the
base name of a library (e.g: libm.so), and was assuming that the usual
scheme libm.so.<x> being a symbolic link to the real library was used.

However, with musl based toolchains, the C library is named libc.so
directly, with no symbolic link at all. Therefore, this commit changes
the copy_toolchain_lib_root to move the responsibility of using a
wildcard or not after the library name the caller's responsibility.

So, all the existing LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS values are modified to have a
.* at the end, so that the behavior is effectively unchanged.

c5866be0ad toolchain: refactor Stack Smashing Protection support
This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:

 *) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
    that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
    toolchain backend.

 *) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
    when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
    glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
    option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
    uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
    must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
    support.

 *) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
    to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
    -fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

b2e88073db toolchain: check ARM EABI vs. EABIhf for external toolchains
Following the introduction of the support of EABIhf as a second ARM
ABI, it is important to check whether the external toolchain provided
by the user actually uses the ABI that has been selected in the
Buildroot configuration. This commit introduces such a check by
looking at the 'Tag_ABI_VFP_args' tag of the architecture-specific
section of the ELF headers. This assumes that ELF is the binary format
used on ARM, which may not be the case on ARM noMMU systems (they use
the FLAT binary format), but Buildroot doesn't have support for such
systems at the moment.

Also ensure the correct CFLAGS are passed to the cross compiler for the
test, so the correct variant is used in case the toolchain is multilib.

9fbdf062b9 toolchain-external: improve glibc support to test availability of RPC
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.

68973cca23 toolchain-external: adjust logic to support Linaro 2012.05
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.

e1f0804cc1 external-toolchain: add support for recent Linaro toolchains
Starting from 2012.03, the Linaro toolchains have separated the GCC
support libraries (libstdc++, libgcc_s) from the sysroot itself. So we
no longer have the case where all libraries are inside the sysroot, as
we had for all the previously supported toolchains.

Therefore, we add some logic to detect if such a separate directory is
used for GCC support libraries, and if it's the case, we make sure
that we take into account this directory when creating our own
sysroot, and when copying libraries to the target filesystem.

e6e60becb0 external-toolchain: add support for Linaro 2012.01
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.

50ac5f9a57 Support multilib variants in sub-subdirectories
When an external toolchain has multiple variants organized in
sub-directories, Buildroot only copies the selected sysroot and not
all sysroots. In order to make this work, Buildroot creates a symbolic
link of the name of the original selected sysroot to the main sysroot
to trick the compiler so that it finds its libraries at the expected
location.

I.e, if the toolchain as the following organization (example take on
the ARM CodeSourcery toolchain) :

     .	    	for ARMv5T
     armv4  	for ARMv4T
     thumb2 	for ARMv7-A/Thumb

and ARMv4T is selected, then Buildroot will copy the contents of
armv4t/ from the toolchain into its $(STAGING_DIR) and then create a
$(STAGING_DIR)/armv4t symbolic link to $(STAGING_DIR).

However, our logic to do so only works when there was one directory
level for multilib sysroots. But in the MIPS CodeSourcery toolchain
there are multiple levels. For example, the MIPS16 soft-float
little-endian sysroot variant is in mips16/soft-float/el/ compared to
the main sysroot.

This patch improves our logic to support this case. The logic is a bit
more complicated as we don't want to create a symbolic link to an
absolute path, but a symbolic link to a relative path, because we want
the host/ directory to be relocatable.

0729b544b3 Improve external toolchain logic to support IA32 Sourcery CodeBench toolchain
The IA32 Sourcery CodeBench toolchain has a relatively special
structure, with the following multilib variants:

 * Intel Pentium 4, 32 bits, the multilib variant is in ./ relative to
   the main sysroot, with the libraries in the lib/ directory.

 * Intel Xeon Nocona, 64 bits, the multilib variant is in ./ relative
   to the main sysroot, with the libraries in the lib64/ directory.

 * Intel Atom 32 bits, the multilib variant is in atom/ relative to
   the main sysroot, with the libraries in the lib/ directory.

 * Intel Core 2 64 bits, the multilib variant is in core2/ relative to
   the main sysroot, with the libraries in lib64/ directory.

So the first two variants are in the same sysroot, only the name of
the directory for the libraries is different.

Therefore, we introduce a new ARCH_LIB_DIR variable, which contains
either 'lib' or 'lib64'. This variable is defined according to the
location of the libc.a file for the selected multilib variant, and is
then used when copying the libraries to the target and to the staging
directory.

In addition to this, we no longer use the -print-multi-directory to
get the ARCH_SUBDIR, since in the case of the 64 bits variants of this
toolchain, it returns just '64' and not a real path. Instead, we
simply compute the difference between the arch-specific sysroot and
the main sysroot.

We also take that opportunity to expand the documentation on the
meaning of the different variables.

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.

d453d0bc9c ext-toolchain: fix ct-ng as external rsync issues
When using a CT-NG toolchain as external toolchain (not with the
integration) and said toolchain has u-w directories rsync fails.
So instruct rsync to chmod u+w directories in the target copy to avoid
the issue.

[Peter: notice that this is a workaround for a rsync 3.0.8 bug]

da6353c9e7 toolchain: speed up sysroot lib copying
The copy_toolchain_lib_root helper searches the entire sysroot, but is
only interested in files in certain subdirs.  So rather than waste time
in walking the entire tree, walk the few subdirs at the depth level we
are actually going to be poaching files from.

Some simplification suggested by Yann E. MORIN
<yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> and Arnout Vandecappelle
<arnout@mind.be>, added by Thomas Petazzoni
<thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>.

2c23e93766 external toolchain: slightly optimize the copy of the toolchain sysroot
The sysroot of an ARM CodeSourcery toolchain takes about 1.4 GB of
space, but 1.1+ GB of this space consists in locale-related
information which Buildroot doesn't use. By skipping the copy of those
unused files, we save quite a bit of time while importing the
toolchain sysroot.

4ee9d569f9 uClibc: drop BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option
Remove the BR option and enable the configuration setting in the
uClibc defconfigs.

The BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option only adds very little overhead to
uClibc, and we have a number of packages needing it, so simply always
enable it - Simplifying the kconfig logic and the number of choices
users have to make.

c59d024754 external-toolchain: fix support
The recent commit adding the external toolchain wrapper has broken the
support for external toolchain. The check_arm_eabi, check_cplusplus
and check_cross_compiler_exists functions were using TARGET_CC, which
points to the toolchain wrapper, but at the moment those functions are
called, the wrapper hasn't been generated yet.

We fix this by passing to these functions the path to the C or C++
compiler they should use for their tests.

42e32d55b1 toolchain: check that the thread option selection is correct
When an external toolchain is used, the user is responsible for
telling Buildroot what the configuration of the toolchain is. In order
to make sure that the selection is correct, we already perform checks
against the configuration of the uClibc in the selected external
toolchain. This commit adds the check for thread support.

6b578c8d73 toolchain: rework C++ options
Instead of having BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX and BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP, with
BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX not being visible (and therefore being useless),
let's just keep BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP to enable C++ in the toolchain
and install C++ libraries on the target.

We also take that opportunity to make BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP an hidden
option, which is selected by an option in Buildroot toolchain support
or an option in External toolchain support, just as we did for other
toolchain features.

Some work definitely remains to be done :

 - The name BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP is ugly, but we keep it for the
   moment in order to avoid changing all packages.

 - We should clarify the other language-related options (Fortran,
   Java, Objective-C, etc.).
