Luca Ceresoli b9f4727ff4 legal-info: allow to declare the actual sources for binary packages
The FOO_SITE/FOO_SOURCE variables usually point to a tarball containing
source code.

For the downloaded external toolchains this is not true, the "source"
tarball actually contains binaries. This is fine for making Buildroot
work, but for legal-info we really want to ship real source code, not
binaries.

Luckily, some (hopefully all) toolchain vendors publish a downloadable
tarball containing the source code counterpart for their binary
packages.

Here we allow the user to declare the URL of this other tarball in the
pair of variables FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL (by default equal to
FOO_SOURCE) and FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_SITE (by default equal to FOO_SITE).
If the "actual source" package can be downloaded from the same
directory as the binary package, then only FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL
needs to be set.

Note this change is not strictly toolchain-specific: it might be useful
for other packages that happen to ship binaries in the same way.

[Thomas:
  - remove "the source code has not been saved" warning that could
    never be triggered due to how the conditions were
    organized. Discussed with Luca live during the meeting.]

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.
