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. ;-)

For ARC, libgcc is always included, even when -nostdlib is given. This is
related to some small pieces of code that are not always generated by the
compiler; a call to libgcc is used in those cases instead.
During the initial stages of building the toolchain, this is a problem, as
libgcc does not exist yet. The ARC compiler supports -really-nostdlib to
override the default behavior.

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore
moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb.
The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the
target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option,
"gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by
default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the
complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then
"gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at
least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the
package is not a no-op.
The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in
"Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it
used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options
relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host,
similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host.
Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when
needed. Instead, it now 'depends on
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by
the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The
'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since
we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select
BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to
appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of
the Buildroot toolchain backend).

Previously, the crosstool-NG backend did depend on the top-level
Buildroot's .config to detect changes in the toolchain options,
using a tentatively-clever heuristic, which also included the full
Buildroot's version string to push down to set the components' versions
strings.
In doing so, any commit in the Buildroot tree would imply a complete
rebuild of the toolchain, even in the case the toolchain options did
not change, thus being a large annoyance (to say the least).
As Buildroot never guaranteed that toolchain options would be detected,
even less handled, and that the internal backend does neither detect nor
act on toolchain options changes, and delegate that to the user, there
is no point in individualising the crosstool-NG backend's behaviour.
This reasoning also applies to the depdency on the crosstool-NG's bundled
.config file, too.
So, just drop the not-so-clever heuristic, and just build the toolchain
once, leaving to the user the responsibility to explictly ask Buildroot
to rebuild the toolchain.

The existing Microblaze toolchains that we have have the annoying
property of being based on a very old glibc version: 2.3.6. Xilinx
provides newer toolchains with glibc 2.14, generated by Crosstool-NG,
but they are only available as part of a huge Git repository that
contains the gcc, Linux, binutils, glibc sources unpacked (4.4 GB
total), which makes is very unpractical.
I contacted the Xilinx person who did those toolchains, but they
apparently didn't intend to change that anytime soon.
So, we have created a tarball for those toolchains, adding a
README.txt file in the tarball that points back to the original
location that contains the source code for them. Those tarballs are
hosted on sources.buildroot.net.
This commit then adds support for those two new external toolchains,
one for little endian Microblaze, another one for big endian

The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.
This only works for a downloaded external toolchain. For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory). For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.

This commit fixes the exact same problem than
21a0c11a90, but for the gdbserver
build. The problem is that when you use the Crosstool-NG toolchain
backend, gawk gets built as a dependency of Crosstool-NG. So the gdb
configure scripts detects it, and assumes it is in the PATH (because
the gdb configure step gets run with TARGET_MAKE_ENV).
But then, the build fails, because it tries to run gawk, but gawk
isn't in the PATH, because we forget to use this TARGET_MAKE_ENV
variable when building gdbserver.

When building gdb for the host, we properly pass the PATH (through
HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) during the configure step, but we forget to do so
for the compilation step.
The result of this is that when the Crosstool-NG backend is used, gawk
is built and installed in $(HOST_DIR), as a dependency of the
crosstool-ng package.
Then, the host gdb configure script detects this gawk binary
($(HOST_DIR) is in the PATH), and assumes gawk is
available. Unfortunately, during the compilation step, it fails to
find the expected gawk binary, because $(HOST_DIR) is no longer in the
PATH. This causes the following build failure:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/067d0c2ea01673ba98ec11de2426f1ab92dac800/build-end.log

As discussed during the ELCE 2012 Buildroot Developers Meeting, we no
longer want to support the possibility of building a toolchain for the
target. None of the core developers have any use for this, it has been
known to be broken or cause problems for a long time without anyone
providing fixes for it.
In addition to this, Buildroot is inherently a cross-compilation tool,
so the usage of a native toolchain on the target is not really
useful. Many newcomers are tempted to use this possibility even though
it is clearly not the intended usage of Buildroot.

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.

The BR2_INET_RPC has for a long time been a not very descriptive

toolchains and the apparition of libtirpc, we really need to rename it
to something more sensible, BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC.

When an external toolchain without thread debug is used, the gdb
package can be selected, but no version can be choosen, since none
match any of the requirements. This leads Buildroot to try to build
gdb for the target without a version being defined, as in the
following build log:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/84e8fd2df0cc22448052a572c2e9a6e03dd137eb/build-end.log
To fix this, we adjust the dependencies of the BR2_PACKAGE_GDB option
so that the package as a whole is not selectable when the required
conditions are not met. Basically, we have the choice of:
* Having a toolchain that supports thread debugging, which is needed
for gdb >= 7.x
* Having BR2_DEPRECATED enabled, which allows gdb 6.8 to be selected,
which doesn't require thread debugging
* Using bfin, since this architectures has a special old gdb version

Since 11017f081f, the Crosstool-ng
backend generates toolchains that have a prefix inconsistent with what
Buildroot expects. Buildroot expects a "buildroot" vendor name, while
Crosstool-NG builds toolchain with the "unknown" vendor name.
This is causing build failure such as:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/15b2c0e50a81b86dd13af684c9254df2bc0df8de/build-end.log
Fix this by changing the vendor part of the tuple used by Crosstool-NG
to "buildroot".

As stated in commit 555c2585bf, the
Xtensa architecture has been introduced in 2009 and never changed
since its initial introduction. It requires some special handling that
is a bit annoying, and despite our call to the initial developers, and
the announcement of the deprecation of the architecture during the
2012.05, nothing has happened. Therefore, drop support for this

We also add a comment that explains that this stuff is only useful for

uses the compiler flags to find the ARM processor that should be
used. So, someday, we'll be able to remove this.

Practically speaking, MIPS has three useful ABIs:
* o32 is for 32-bits CPUs, or 64-bit CPUs running only a 32-bit subset
of the instruction set.
* n32 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 32-bits pointers and long
integers.
* n64 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 64-bits pointers and long
integers.
See http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/MIPS_ABI_History and
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/WhatsWrongWithO32N32N64 for more
details.
So, this commit reworks the Buildroot MIPS support by:
* Add separate mips64/mips64el top-level architectures.
* Renaming the n32 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI32, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Renaming the n64 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI64, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Make the n32 and n64 ABI selections select the BR2_ARCH_IS_64,
since those ABIs are valid on 64-bits CPUs only.
* Removing the o64 ABI, which is practicaly never used.
* Removing the "none" ABI, which really doesn't make sense.
* Introduce the mips64 and mips64el architecture names when a 64-bits
MIPS ABI is choosen. This will fix build issue like
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9b8c5ea86c953a89e85e7b67e9221de41773f652/build-end.log
where gmp was confused by the fact of having a 32 bits architecture
(detected by the mips- architecture part of the tuple) but 64 bits
integer size when compiling.
* Adjust the uclibc.mk logic to support the new mips64/mips64el
architecture names, and take into account the renaming of the ABI
options.
This has been build tested by generating Buildroot toolchains and
compiling a few packages for MIPS o32, MIPS n32 and MIPS n64.
This work is originally based on prior work done by Gustavo Zacarias.

Commit ba92d6ef68 made hard float the
default when Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9. The problem it was trying to fix
is that the newer Linaro toolchains (2012.05 and 2012.06) are
hard-float, so the default selection of soft-float enabled on ARM
doesn't work for those toolchains.
Unfortunately, not selecting soft-float causes problems with
the Crosstool-NG backend at the moment.
As an intermediate solution, make the soft float option disappear when
using external toolchain: the toolchain will decide by itself whether
to generate hard float or soft float code.

Instead of having two separate list of choices for select the target
architecture variant for i386 and x86_64, with many CPU choices
duplicated (because all modern x86 CPUs can be both used as i386 or
x86_64), merge them into a single list. In the x86_64 case, all the
x86 CPUs that do not support the 64 bits instruction set are hidden.

Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 ARM cores are guaranteed to provide a hardware
floating point unit, so there's no reason to default to software
floating point for them.
More importantly, the newest Linaro toolchains are hard float
toolchains, so basically an user choosing those toolchains and leaving
the default option of software float would run in compilation issues.
So let's make hard float the default for Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9.

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.

This patch adds the possibility to download a custom external
toolchain, in addition to the existing support of preinstalled custom
external toolchains.
With the modified configuration, the user is presented with the
following options:
- Toolchain type: Buildroot toolchain | External toolchain | Ct-ng toolchain
In case of External toolchain:
- Toolchain: the CodeSourcery toolchains | Custom toolchain
- Toolchain origin: Toolchain to be downloaded and installed | Pre-installed toolchain
In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path
For CodeSourcery toolchains, the toolchain URL field is not used (the
URLs are directly coded in ext-tool.mk).
