The current code spawns as many jobs as up to twice the number of CPUs.
On small-class machines like laptops, with a limitted amount of memory,
but still a few CPUs (real or hyperthreads), the HDD becomes a bottleneck,
and it becomes almost impossible to do anythiong else while there is a
build in progress.
Limit the number of jobs to the number of CPUs plus one.
Even on fast machines with fast HDDs, this settings keeps the machine
fully busy (for those packages that can build in parallel, of course).
For example, building qemu or the linux kernel kept my hyperthreaded
hexa Core i7 with 18GiB of RAM, busy at 99% (I never ever managed to
get 100% even with more jobs, not even 200); while on my hyperthreaded
dual Core i5 with only 4GiB and a slow HDD, I still topped at 100% CPU,
while still able to do some work involving the HDD.
If the number of processors is not available, assume one.

The external toolchain logic checks (and finds) the proper ARCH_LIB_DIR
and forcibly copies it to */lib even if it's in */lib64
This is all well until the check is done for create_lib64_symlinks which
only verifies if ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR/lib64 is a symlink, which in some
toolchain it's a real directory (like sourcery x86_64 2012.09) and thus
doesn't make the symlink in the target.
Fix this by also checking for a real directory.
Easily reproducible by running "make qemu_x86_64_defconfig", switching
to an external toolchain before build, building and then trying to run
the resulting image.

This should fix http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/d2e386b50744aeda7257a0b78aafe90ba4da697c/
Because there is no host-cups package, host-gutenprint cant build the
host-cups drivers - missing includes and libs. Host gutenprint only
built to get the xml. Thus not a loss.

strace isn't available for the AArch64 and ARC architectures.
The patchset for AArch64 is somewhat big and complicated (needs updates
to other bits) so it'd probably be better to use a git version of strace
or wait for a new release.

Add an upstream patch that makes Pulseaudio link against json-c
instead of json, so that it works with json-c 0.11, and doesn't cause
problems with libjson has been also installed in the system. Note that
this fix has been merged in Pulseaudio after the 3.0 release, so we
will have to keep this patch around when bumping to 3.0.

Bumping this package is needed, because json-c 0.10 has a major
defect: it installs a library named libjson.so, which conflicts with
the library installed by the libjson package.
This has been changed in the upstream json-c 0.11 version, which now
installs libjson-c and json-c.pc.
It allows to solve the Pulseaudio link problem, which wants to link
against json-c but happens to link against libjson when libjson has
been compiled and installed after json-c.

For the following reasons:
- it used to be broken without anyone noticing for a long time,
- it is still not fully integrated within the Buildroot set of options,
- it has not gained much traction (not even I use it),
- I've always argued that sustained development should use an external
toolchain, and not rely on building one with Buildroot,
- I did not submit any of the enhancements requested during the last
developpers' day in Brussels,
- I have neither the incentive nor the time to maintain and enhance it,
it is time to deprecate the crosstool-NG backend for the 2013.05 release.
Then, it will be entirely removed early in the 2013.08 cycle, to let some
time for those that rely on it to voice their opinions. ;-)

Switch to distribute fork since it's maintained and fixes a few issues
while bumping to version 0.6.36.
There's work upstream in re-merging with setuptools which is now
supposedly maintained, see
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2013-March/020126.html
Buildroot python packages should use --single-version-externally-managed
and --root=/ in the install phase even if they're not setuptools-based.
This is because the default is to build egg files (zip files) for
packages to support multiple target versions, and since the packages
should be handled by buildroot infrastructure that's not needed.
Also potentially doing double-compression is time-wasting (i.e. egg
file and target filesystem) when running on slow targets.

We want --single-version-externally-managed (and --root=/) to make
python packages uncompressed (python eggs are zip files) since
compression should be a target filesystem responsibility.
And we don't need/want multiple versions of the same package in the
target since packages should be handled by buildroot on any sane
embedded system.
