This commit fixes bug #6452 (eglibc from Linaro 2013.07 not copied to
target correctly) by:
* Copying only the relevant library loader to the target on ARMhf
(i.e ld-linux-armhf.so and not ld.so*). This is needed since Linaro
toolchains provide two library loaders, one ARMv7 hf, and one ARMv4
soft-float.
* Making sure a $(TARGET_DIR)/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/ symbolic link
to $(TARGET_DIR)/lib/ exists, since the dynamic loader of Linaro
toolchains expects libraries to be found in
$(TARGET_DIR)/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/.

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).

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.

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.

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.

The external toolchain code makes the assumption that all C libraries
have a ld*.so, libc.so, libcrypt.so, libdl.so, libgcc_s.so, libm.so,
libnsl.so, libresolv.so, libutil.so, and when thread support is
enabled, libpthread.so, etc.
However, this is not the case with the musl C library, which
integrates all the functionalities in a single libc.so file. In
preparation of the support of the musl library, we make the current
value of LIB_EXTERNAL_LIBS conditional to glibc or uClibc.
The addition of additional libraries through
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_LIBS is kept outside the condition, at
the end.

because the former conflicts with the package infrastructure (which
defines the <pkg>_DIR variable for each package as pointing to its

The new _EXTRA_DOWNLOADS mechanism is used for Blackfin toolchains.

This commit introduces a virtual package called 'toolchain', located
in 'toolchain/toolchain', which simply depends on
'toolchain-buildroot' or 'toolchain-external' depending on the
selected toolchain backend.
For now, toolchain-buildroot and toolchain-external are still manual
make targets, but the following patches convert those backends to use
the package infrastructure as well.
In addition to this:
* The main Makefile is modified to always make BASE_TARGETS point to
this new toolchain virtual package.
* The main Makefile is changed to include all the toolchain/*/*.mk
files: the toolchain virtual package, and the toolchain-buildroot
and toolchain-external directories.
* The dependency of the toolchain on prepare dirs and dependencies is
moved to the toolchain virtual package. It is moved as a
prerequisite of the "toolchain-source" rule to ensure that all
directories are prepared before we even start extracting the
toolchain.

In case there are many arguments passed to the tools, the command line
can get very long, and difficult to parse visually.
For example, the Linux kernel passes a lot of arguments to gcc (at least
45, which gives 53 with our hard-coded args). Looking at such a command
line is daunting.
So, add the possibility to print each argument on its own line.
Also, enclose all args between single quotes, so the command line
can be safely copy-pasted without special chars (spaces, $) being
inrerpreted by the shell.
Add blurb about toolchain-wrapper to documentation at the same

*) 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

When NPTL support was introduced, gcc required a three stages build
process. Since gcc 4.7, this is no longer necessary, and it is
possible to get back to a two stages build process. This patch takes
advantage of this, by doing a two stages build process when possible.
We introduce a few hidden kconfig options:
* BR2_GCC_VERSION_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which is set by the gcc
Config.in logic to indicate that the compiler might need a three
stages build. Currently, all versions prior to 4.7.x are selecting
this kconfig option.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_LIBC_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which indicates whether
the C library might need a three stages build. This is the case for
eglibc, and uClibc when NPTL is enabled.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD finally is enabled when both
of the previous options are enabled. It indicates that a three
stages build is actually needed.
In addition to those options, the uClibc/gcc build logic is changed to
use only a two stages build process when possible.

The external-toolchain infrastructure creates symbolic links for all
tools in the host directory. However, when buildroot builds its own
version of a cross debugger (BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_GDB), and the toolchain
also provides a cross debugger, there would be two symbolic links for
gdb in the host directory, which is confusing.
An example use case is where the external toolchain only provides a
64-bit gdbserver (e.g. Cavium Networks SDK) but the target is completely
32-bit (e.g. n32 ABI). In this case, using gdbserver on target requires
copying a bunch of 64-bit libraries to the target as well, just for gdb.
In this case, one can let buildroot build both gdbserver as cross-gdb
(both in 32-bit).
This patch modifies the symlink creation so that no gdb (or gdbtui)
symlink is created if buildroot is going to build a cross-gdb.

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.

Until now, we were using the default ARM instruction set, as used by
the toolchain: the 32 bits ARM instruction set for the internal
backend, and for external toolchain, whatever default was chosen when
the toolchain was generated.
This commit adds support for the Thumb2 instruction set. To do so, it:
* provides a menuconfig choice between ARM and Thumb2. The choice is
only shown when Thumb2 is supported, i.e on ARMv7-A CPUs.
* passes the --with-mode={arm,thumb} option when building gcc in the
internal backend. This tells the compiler which type of
instructions it should generate.
* passes the m{arm,thumb} option in the external toolchain
wrapper. ARM and Thumb2 code can freely be mixed together, so the
fact that the C library has been built either ARM or Thumb2 and
that the rest of the code is built Thumb2 or ARM is not a problem.

the user doesn't do any invalid selection. In detail:
* The Linaro ARM toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABIHF, because
that's the ABI they use, and it is incompatible with EABI. The
comment about the availability of Linaro toolchains is updated to
inform users selecting EABI that they should select EABIhf if they
want to see Linaro toolchains.
* The Sourcery CodeBench toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI,
because that's the ABI they use. A comment is added to inform users
that have selected EABIhf that Sourcery CodeBench are only
available when EABI is used.
* The Arago toolchains now depend on BR2_ARM_EABI, because that's the
ABI they use. The description of the ARMv7 Arago toolchain is also
slightly improved.

Now that we have a much better way of selecting between the various
VFP versions and capabilities, the BR2_VFP_FLOAT version no longer
makes sense. This commit gets rid of it, and adds the appropriate
Config.in.legacy code.

As we are going to introduced a more advanced support of floating
point options for the ARM architecture, we need to adjust how the
soft-float option is handled. We replace the current hidden option
BR2_PREFER_SOFT_FLOAT option and the visible BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option by:
* A global hidden BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option, defined in arch/Config.in,
that tells whether the architecture-specific code is using software
emulated floating point. This hidden option can be used throughout
Buildroot to determine whether soft float is used or not.
* Per-architecture visible BR2_<arch>_SOFT_FLOAT options, for the
architecture for which it makes sense, which allows users to select
soft float emulation when needed.
This change will allow each architecture to have a different way of
presenting its floating point capabilities.
