Thomas De Schampheleire 144caf5c5b toolchain helpers: introduce simplify_symlink
The external toolchain logic flattens the directory layout in the staging
directory.  Regardless of the number of levels present in the extracted
toolchain, libraries are always copied to lib/ and usr/lib/, and directory
symbolic links are provided to make the original paths available as well.

Due to this, the same library may be reachable through a number of paths:
one path without any symbolic link, and one or more paths using directory
symlinks.

Using a direct path in a symlink destination is generally preferred because
it is clearer, but it is also more robust against accidental removal of an
intermediate directory symlink.

Introduce a helper function to simplify a symlink's destination to such a
direct path. This function will be used in a subsequent patch.

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.
