Back in the day gdbserver was treated as a subproject of GDB and
even was located in "gdb/gdbserver" and so to build gdbserver we had
to go into "gdb/gdbserver" and there run configure. That way full GDB
was out of the picture.
Now starting from GDB 10.1 where gdbserver was promoted to the top-level
we're supposed to run top-level's configure script for all the tools
provided by the unified binutils-gdb tree.
That said if we only want to build gdbserver (and that's what we
want since we build one tool at a build step) we have to be explicit:
----------------->8----------------
--enable-gdbserver --disable--gdb
----------------->8----------------
Ah, and so far we used to build full native GDB when only wanted gdbserver
if it was GDB v10.x ;)
Ironically full native/target GDB also enabled gdbserver by default so
we need to also disable it explicitly with "--disable-gdbserver".

"--with-host-libstdcxx" option was removed in GCC 6.x, see [1] because of [2].
So it makes no sense to use it with later GCC versions.
Frankly I don't like that implementation with yet another set of "if XXX",
but since we still support GCC down to 4.8.5 what else we may do?
Well, technically we may keep using things as they are now,
because surprisingly GCC's configure script doesn't mind accepting
meaningless options, but as a person who's looking at differences between
various builds and drill-down to peculiarities of various config
options, I'd prefer to not pollute configure with garbage.
But for all the rest... well, it works now and maybe nodody else cares.

GCC 11+ requires compiler being used to support C++11 standard [1].
And while GCC starting from 6.x has C++11 support enabled by default [2],
older versions need to be forced to implement it with "-std=gnu++11" and luckily
GCC's build-system takes care of that:
1. For ${host} compiler - [1]
2. For ${build} compiler - [3, 4]
In a nutshell the configure script tries a couple of options and the one which
helps to build a test source gets appended to CXX (not CXXFLAGS!),
so on say CentOS 7.x with GCC 4.8.5 during cross-compilation of GCC
CXX="x86_64-build_pc-linux-gnu-g++ -std=gnu++11". And all is good.
But in case of canadian cross due to [5] we for some reason* force set
CXX_FOR_BUILD with just a compiler name, effectively overriding all the
magic done by GCC's internals described above.
This leads to a compilation failures like that:

* my guess that [5] was done because back in the day indeed we used to have

this is no longer necessary as we use "--build=${CT_BUILD} --host=${CT_BUILD}"
and all is safe and clean. So yet another old quirk goes away - hooray!

GCC can support using zstd compression for LTO object files. By default
GCC's configure will enable this if libzstd is installed on the machine
building the toolchain. This may be undesirable if the toolchain is to
be used on a different machine. Add an option to control zstd usage and
set the default to the same as the current behaviour (i.e. auto).

In GDB 10.x gdbserver was promoted to the top-level folder,
see https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=919adfe8409211c726c1d05b47ca59890ee648f1
Which means it is no longer a subfolder in "gdb" and so we have to
build gdbserver now exactly in the same way as normal native GDB.
One interesting detail is gdbserver doesn't need to deal with target
description in .xml so it doesn't depend on libexpat on target,
thus we need to move libexpat explicit selection from do_gdb_backend()
to its callers when building native [full] gdb as well as cross-gdb
for the host.

[cp: support old/new layout, regenerate patches]

Older ARC700 processors had atomic instructions (AKA llock/scond)
as an option and so quite some "atomic" operations were not possible
w/o OS support, which we implemented - see arc_usr_cmpxchg() in the
Linux kernel.
And in uClibc, which was the only Linux libc back in the day of ARC700
era, it is well supported. Well, uClibc could be configured to support it.
Which is done with CONFIG_ARC_HAS_ATOMICS Kconfig option.
But the problem is there's no check for ARC ISA version in uClibc when
this option gets enabled. That leads to a funny situation when even for
ARCv2 processors (ARC HS3x & HS4x) uClibc tries to utilize
arc_usr_cmpxchg() syscall which is not supported for this newer ISA since
ARCv2 processors have atomic instructions built-in all the time.
So what was happening here we didn't specify additional "-matomic"
CFLAG unless we were targeting exactly those ancient ARC770 processors
(ARC700 + MMUv3 + atomics) and so even for ARCv2 we forced uClibc
to not use built-in atomics.
And even though there're ways to add a smarter solution here to handle
that pretty rare by now case of ARC750 (ARC700 + MMUv2 - atomics),
I suggest we just remove this part completely, leaving a possibility
to add needed option in uClibc-ng's configuration
(I mean "packages/uClibc-ng/config").

This commit adds two additional arguments (`cxxflags_for_target` and
`extra_cxxflags_for_target`) for the gcc backend build function that
can be used to specify custom target CXXFLAGS.
By default, the target CXXFLAGS is set to the target CFLAGS. When
`cxxflags_for_target` is specified however, it overrides that behaviour
and allows setting different target CXXFLAGS from the target CFLAGS.
The `extra_cxxflags_for_target` argument can be used to specify the
extra target CXXFLAGS to be appended to the target CXXFLAGS. This is
useful when it is necessary to append CXX-specific flags to the
existing CFLAGS to be used as the target CXXFLAGS.
A useful application of this is building full and nano versions of
libstdc++ with different target CXXFLAGS as necessitated by
`nano.specs`.

The gcc target libraries (e.g. libstdc++) are currently built without
any optimisation flag when `CT_CC_GCC_ENABLE_TARGET_OPTSPACE` is not
enabled and default to `-O0` unless user explicitly specifies an
optimisation flag.
This commit updates the gcc build script to assume `-O2` for building
target libraries unless user provides a different optimisation flag.
Note also that this is the default behaviour for gcc when
C[XX]FLAGS_FOR_TARGET is not overridden.

In currently generated top-level "nano.specs" we resolve
paths during toolchain building and then use those pre-defined
full paths once the toolchain got built.
That's OK until the toolchain is used right were it was built,
otherwise paths used in the top-level "nano.specs" become
irrelevant and linker fails to find "nano" libs reverting to
non-"nano" libs in the default location.

Some really old GDB releases did have gdbserver's configure
script w/o execution permissions, so there was a need in the fix.
As per Yann most likely it could have been true for GDB versions in
between v5.3 & 6.6. Moreover it could have been fixed on re-release
of GDB tarballs done in 2011, see [1].
And given we no longer support such old GDB versions in CT-NG
(as of today we have 6.8 - 9.2, moreover it's not clear which of
6.8-7.x versions are still being actively used) we'll revert that old hack
for now in a hope that it won't hurt anybody.
Though if somebody sees that problem again
we'll be able to revert this again ;)

If existing board's .specs are used for linking of a user's application,
then instead of normally used libs like libc.a & libstdc++.a might be
requested their "nano"-suffixed siblings: libc_nano.a, libstdc++_nano etc.
That way:
----------------------------->8---------------------------
%rename link_gcc_c_sequence myboard_link_gcc_c_sequence
*myboard_libc:
%{!specs=nano.specs:-lc} %{specs=nano.specs:-lc_nano}
*link_gcc_c_sequence:
%(myboard_link_gcc_c_sequence) --start-group %G %(myboard_libc) --end-group
----------------------------->8---------------------------
Our companion newlib-nano libs are all built optimized for size, so we'd like
to use them for linking. But given linker will see "-lc_nano -lstdc++_nano"
on its command line non-suffixed libs will be ignored.
To solve it we create those "_nano"-suffixed libraries as simple symlinks to
existing libs..

Since glibc 2.27 glob interface was changed [1] and so
"glob" & "glob64" symbols require glibc 2.27+.
For us that means if we build Binutils on a machine with glibc 2.27+
produced binaries won't be any longer usable on machines with older
glibc.
As an example [2]: build on Ubuntu 18.04 (with glibc 2.27) and try to run
on CentOS 7.x (with glibc 2.17), you'll see this:
---------------------->8-------------------
ldd ld
ld: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.27' not found (required by ld)
---------------------->8-------------------
Now given glob is not really used by Binutils itself (only needed by GDB)
and we build Binutils & GDB separately let's make at least Binutils
more portable.
In theory we may even try to do the same hack for GDB forcing it to use
imported glob implementation. But since GDB is now built strictly by C++
compiler we'll get waaay to many incompatibilities due to multiple changes
of C++ ABI in between GCC 7.5 of Ubuntu 18.04 and GCC 4.8.5 of CentOS 7.x,
so there's no point to even try.
