Thomas Petazzoni 141358d838 toolchain-external-linaro-{arm,armeb}: allow on ARMv8
The Linaro toolchains are currently only available on ARMv7-A, but can
in fact also be used to generate 32 bits code for ARMv8 platforms. This
commit therefore adjusts their architecture dependency.

Example, a 32 bits ARM build produces a 32 bits busybox binary:

$ file output/target/bin/busybox
output/target/bin/busybox: setuid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=16a7a70eb9cac08759e52a260478b9c287f59238, stripped

Which was built for Cortex-A72:

$ ./output/host/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-readelf -A output/target/bin/busybox

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 Freenode IRC.
