Juergen Stuber 0b28ee9267 toolchain/toolchain-external: Allow relative paths in BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH.
Convert BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH to an absolute path when used.

Otherwise the symbolic links to the external toolchain binaries are
not installed in host/bin when BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_PATH is relative.
This happens because TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INSTALL_WRAPPER
changes directory into host/bin to create the symbolic links.
From there the tools are no longer found via the relative path and
a single symbolic link host/bin/$(prefix)-* is created instead.

Although relative paths sounds like something less than ideal to put in
a Buildroot configuration, it's actually rather typical to put the
buildroot sources as a submodule (or subdirectory) of custom sources
(either in a BR2_EXTERNAL or not), in which case the relative path is
well-defined.

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
