This patch introduces a single, simple, infrastructure to build the
Linux kernel. The configuration is limited to :
* Kernel version: a fixed recent stable version, same as kernel
headers version (for internal toolchains only), custom stable
version, or custom tarball URL
* Kernel patch: either a local file, directory or an URL
* Kernel configuration: either the name of a defconfig or the
location of a custom configuration file
* Kernel image: either uImage, bzImage, zImage or vmlinux.

Make sure we only pass O=<path> if we were originally called like that,
otherwise we might end up looking for the .config in the wrong place.
Likewise, when changing between using O= or not (or simply running
make <blah>_defconfig in a pristine source tree), we do end up having
a .config, but no .config.cmd. It isn't really critical so just continue
even if we couldn't read it.

Otherwise u-boot tools / kernel modules are only added to target AFTER

On my target rootfs it is installed documentation for:

It ocupies 34M of space. Configure option --disable-gtk-doc doesn't
prevent installation of it. So we should remove them manually if
documentation is disabled.

Strangely enough O is still passed to submakes with MAKEOVERRIDES
(with make 3.81 atleast), the only thing that changes is the output
of the origin function (command line -> environment).
Unfortunately some packages don't look at origin (E.G. uClibc 0.9.31+)
To really make O go away, we have to override it.

Lay down the path to add more than two toolchain kinds:
- check the type of toolchain as:
ifeq (toolchain_buildroot,y)
blabla buildroot-specific
else ifeq (toolchain_external,y)
blabla external-specific
endif
- prefer using positive checks, a-la:
ifeq (foo,y)
instead of:
ifneq (bar,y)
(where foo and bar are mutually exclusive)
- have the toolchain_buildroot case always appear first
- gettext is handled differently, because we want to add an option
only if not using the buildroot toolchain, hence we use ifneq.

As discussed on the list, fixup the *clean targets, so we now have:
clean: remove all generated files (E.G. everything in output/)
distclean: same as clean, but also remove the kconfig build and .config
Also tweak 'make help' output to match. This also merges the two
different clean / distclean targets we had depending on if there was
a .config present or not (most variables are not defined for !.config
case, so E.G. the clean target ends up being a noop).

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,

- 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

- 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 config help text says it all:
Specify a script to be run after the build has finished and before
the BR2 starts packing the files into selected packages.
This gives users the oportunity to do board-specific cleanups,
add-ons and the like, so the generated files can be used directly
without further processing.
The script is called with the target directory name as first and
only argument. Make sure the exit code of that script is 0,
otherwise make will stop after calling it.

Remove toolchain build dir, and don't try to remove the non-existing include
dir. Also don't explicitly remove the kernel image located in binaries as
we're already removing that dir.
Add BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_PURGE / BR2_ENABLE_LOCALE_WHITELIST options to
remove unwanted locales from the target rootfs. Handy for stuff like
the gtk stack, which comes with ~25 MB locales.
Works similar to localepurge in Debian, E.G. you provide a white list
of wanted locales, and everything else is removed.
Move stamp (dependency) files outside the (version specific) source
directories, so other packages can hardcode dependencies on them instead
of having to use <PACKAGE>_VERSION variables.
This is important as the variables in the make rules are evaluated when
the rules is seen, which might be before the dependent makefile is parsed
(and hence <PACKAGE>_VERSION variable is known, screwing up stuff.
The downside of this is that the package isn't automatically rebuilt
when the version changes (E.G. by a svn update) and you now also have to
remove the stamp files next to $(BUILD_DIR)/<PACKAGE>-* to force a rebuild.
I often find myself forgetting what those targets were called, and I imagine
others may not even be aware of their existence.

HOST_GLIB is set to the path that contains the host glib tool set and is
used when building packages using glib. The buildroot top level Makefile
sets HOST_GLIB using which to find the path where glib-genmarshal is
located.
The problem is that a cross compiled version of glib-genmarshal is also
put in the build_ARCH/staging_dir/usr/bin directory when the package
libglib2 is built. This cross compiled version will typically not run on
the host system.
Fix it by ignoring staging_dir in the which output.
Closes#5934
jacmet: fixed to work correctly if it's only found in staging_dir.
Improve external toolchain support
* Do not put kernel-headers in the dependencies of BASE_TARGETS in
the case where BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE is not y. The kernel headers
are already supposed to be part of the external toolchain, so
there's no need to download, extract and install them.
* In the configuration system, don't display the kernel headers
version selection list when an external toolchain is selected. This
is implemented by moving the source
"toolchain/kernel-headers/Config.in" inside the if
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE in toolchain/Config.in.2.
* Change the description and help message of the BR2_LARGEFILE,
BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, and BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option in
toolchain/external-toolchain/Config.in. In the case of an external
toolchain, the semantic of these options is not to enable large
file support, IPV6 or RPC (since the toolchain is already compiled,
it has been decided previously). Their semantic is to let Buildroot
know about the characteristics of the external toolchain being
used.
As an improvement, we could guess these values automatically:
- for BR2_LARGEFILE, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_LFS__ in
bits/uClibc_config.h in the libc headers directory.
- for BR2_INET_RPC, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_RPC__ in the
same file
- for BR2_INET_IPV6, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_IPV6__ in
the same file
- for BR2_SOFT_FLOAT, look at the output of $(CC) -v 2>&1 | grep
-- "--with-float=soft"
But I'm not sure how this would be possible, since these values are
used at configuration-time by other configuration options, not only
at build time.

make "make clean" remove the .root stamp, so that everything will
be reinstalled properly on a subsequent build. (bug id 4304)
Also remove new autotools-stamps directory.
The MAKELEVEL test is not that robust; It fails with the recent log
support or if buildroot is driven from an external Makefile.
Rework it to instead detect source-check/external-deps by the fact that
they set SPIDER.
Mark empty directories in target skeletons with .empty files
and remove them while copying to target (like it's already done for
svn and cvs files) to better support version control system which don't
handle empty directories (E.G. git-svn).
Will need to try to copy eventual pre-existing project-specific deps back
to package/config in order not to mess up the corresponding timestamps (to avoid superfluous rebuilds)..
=========================================================
The purpose of the BSP patch is to allow building
several boards inside the same buildroot tree.
For this to work, each board has to have its
own "$(TARGET_DIR)" and all *configurable* packages
must be rebuilt for each board.
They are now built in the "$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)"
All non configurable packages can and should still
be built in the "$(BUILD_DIR)".
If a package is built for one board, then when
you build for a second board of the same architecture
the build becomes a simple copy of the resulting
binaries.
-----
Define BR2_PROJECT which will be used as the selector
between different boards. Note that BR2_PROJECT allow
you to build multiple root file systems for a single
board, and should not be confused with BR2_BOARD_NAME
which relates to the H/W.
-----
Define PROJECT_BUILD_DIR as "PROJECT_BUILD_DIR/$(PROJECT)"
Define BINARIES_DIR as "binaries/$(PROJECT)"
Define TARGET_DIR as "$(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)/root"
(some prefix/postfix may apply)
Resulting images are stored in "$(BINARIES_DIR)"
-----
Define a few new environment variables in Makefile
PROJECT: Stripped BR2_PROJECT
DATE: Date of build in YYYY-MM-DD format
HOSTNAME: Stripped BR2_HOSTNAME => /etc/hostname
BANNER: Stripped BR2_BANNER => /etc/issue
Linux and Busybox will be built in $(PROJECT_BUILD_DIR)
More patches will be needed later to ensure all
configurable packages are built in this directory.
This also provides a nice up-to-date filestamp if something got reconfigured (e.g. c++ support got toggled) that can be used in the future to depend accordingly.
This patch changes the way the top level Makefile searches for a
<board>_defconfig file, it will only look in the target/ directory and its sub
directories.
The patch also enables loading a defconfig even if there already is a .config.
