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.

Xtensa is a configurable processor architecture, which allows to define
additional instructions and registers. The required variant specific
information for the toolchain is delivered in an 'overlay' file, which
needs to be 'untarred' to the corresponding directories after the
source is installed and patched.
This patch provides support for binutils, gcc, and gdb with a very
limited changes to the build scripts. These additions are only executed
for the Xtensa architecture and have no effect on other architectures.
[Thomas: rebased on top of the 'arch: improve definition of gcc mtune,
mcpu, etc.' patch, and changed 'Target ABI' to 'Target Architecture
Variant'].

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
architecture.

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.

The BR2_CONFIGURE_DEVEL_SYSROOT, BR2_CONFIGURE_STAGING_SYSROOT and
BR2_CONFIGURE_BUILD_TOOLS were used only in a few places, and it is in
fact clearer to just use their value in the various places they are
used.
The ultimate goal is to get rid of the toolchain/Makefile.in file.

This modifies the definition of DOWNLOAD to receive two arguments:
the first one is the full URL of the file to download, whereas the second
(and optional) is the name the file will have once downloaded.
Same thing with the SOURCE_CHECK_WGET and SCP functions.
All calls to these functions have been changed to the shortest form of
the new API, except for toolchains acquisition. Since there is quite a
number of different toolchains this call to DOWNLOAD is better set to the
generic one.

Add the ability for buildroot to build an SPE ABI enabled toolchain.
This is mandatory for e500v1/v2 cores since they don't support classic
FPU mode as the e500mc does.
Useful for Freescale's PowerQUICC III and single/dual-core QorIQ
line of processors.
The new TARGET_ABI variable is used rather than TARGET_CFLAGS for
uclibc's UCLIBC_EXTRA_CFLAGS to avoid breakish CFLAGS leaking in, a
good example being -mthumb for ARM.

gcc_target wants uclibc_target which is now first stage uclibc (not
real, from the NPTL build stage addition).
This triggers gcc-final to be rebuilt (albeit cached) and reinstalled,
thus touching all the stamps around and triggering a rebuild of
gcc_target.
Switch to $(STAMP_DIR)/gcc_libs_target_installed instead so that we only
depend on the last stage of cross gcc being installed to rebuild.
