Yann E. MORIN b6bfa3f744 utils/genrandconfig: dump traceback for unhandled exceptions
In case of an unexpected error, we currently only print the exception as
an str(). For example, the recent issue with the glibc version check
only reported:
    TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

That does not help in fixing the issue; the exception text is also not
usually very user-friendly either anyway.

We change the reporting to print the traceback, which in the glibc
version check mentioned above, the error is reported as:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "./utils/genrandconfig", line 740, in <module>
        ret = gen_config(args)
      File "./utils/genrandconfig", line 676, in gen_config
        if not is_toolchain_usable(configfile, toolchainconfig):
      File "./utils/genrandconfig", line 186, in is_toolchain_usable
        if StrictVersion('2.14') > StrictVersion(glibc_version):
      File "/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/version.py", line 40, in __init__
        self.parse(vstring)
      File "/usr/lib/python3.8/distutils/version.py", line 135, in parse
        match = self.version_re.match(vstring)
    TypeError: cannot use a string pattern on a bytes-like object

With this, the error is much easier to pinpoint (it's the last one that
is not in a system module).

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.
