The real problem, only caused when you have a *.patch file in the
main build directory, is that the Makefiles don't escape the globbing
operator they're passing to patch-kernel.sh. Attached is a patch to
fix that.
1) Allow selection of binutils/gcc/gdb/kernel headers to build, although
some of the older tool patches probably need updating.
2) Rework gdb build so that remote debugging now works with gdbserver.
3) Misc. other package updates.3) Misc. other package updates.3) Misc. other package updates.
Also, explicitly set the CFLAGS for the build system since otherwise
the TARGET_OPTIMIZATION flags were used. This was tripping up a mipsel
build where it tried to use -mips2 when building for i386.
issues for applications, we also create staging_dir/bin/<arch>-linux-*
symlinks which allows us to configure most apps with target=<arch>-linux.
gcc 3.3.2 libstdc++ now correctly identifies uclibc locale support.
There are still some issues (mainly related to wide char time strings
and wcsftime) to be addressed, but those are on hold until the uClibc
locale internals are reworked once again.
With the new stuff, we can also build gcc 2.95 and STLport again, although
the native gcc build for the target is failing.
Archs supported (some archs not yet tested):
2.95 - i386, arm, mips*, powerpc.
3.3.2 - Hopefull all for which uClibc has shared lib support.
