Accept a local tarball name as the source of the Linux kernel headers,
rather than forcing the user to use either an upstream tarball, or a
local pre-installed headers tree.
Some components have configuration options that can depend on
generic options, so they should go below those.
uClibc for example:
- has its own options (wchar...)
- uses the generic options (threads...)
- if linuxthreads chosen, offers two impls
So we need to be able to split the components options in 2,
one part that is above the generic options, and one part that
ends up below the generic options.
This patch adds support for installing the gcc test suite. A helper
Makefile is provided for building and running the gcc tests.
The default configuration runs all gcc tests and requires automatic
ssh/scp login access to a networked target board. See README for
more details.
Note: Current feature is tested with the powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
sample but it should work with others as well.

Insight seems to be very slow to follow up on mainstreram gdb.
Latest snapshots are more than 6 months old.
Moreover, I don't have time to maintain insight support in crosstool-NG;
and, because I don't use it, I am unable to find any breakage.
For uClibc, the name of the Blackfin architecture is 'bfin'. Actually,
the naming of the architecture is quite messy: for toolchain tuples
and uClibc, it's bfin, but for the kernel, it's blackfin. We've
arbitraly choosen to name it "blackfin" in Crosstool-NG.
Add Blackfin-related uClibc patch to fix a build failure related to
fork() being used in unistd/daemon.c.
Yann E. MORIN:
Apply the patch to the kernel/linux build script to use 'linux'
in the noMMU tuples. See:

If threads are disabled in libc, we don't want to enable them in the
final compiler. Doing so pass the configure stage, but fails latter on
a missing <pthread.h>.
Moreover, we don't want to build libgomp if threads are disabled; its
configure script would fails anyway.

Hide the prompts for some behavioral options, for which the upper-layer build
system is responsible for:
- parallel jobs and maximum load
- use pipes
- use custom shell
When crosstool-NG is used as a backend, it is the responsibility of the
upper-layer build-system to properly set paths, so we just hide the
prompts in this case.
sstrip is now alone in its 'tools' menu, and we will probably never gain
any other 'tool'. Besides, sstrip is just strip, but a little bit more
agressive, so it deserves going to the 'binary utilities' menu.
When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build
any application that runs on the target, that is:
- no native gdb
- no companion libraries
- no binutils libraries
- no debug tools (save for gdbserver)
- ...
Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect
that we are acting as a back-end.
Update doc accordingly.
The companion libraries on the target are required only for internal use by
binutils and gdb. The user should not have to know about this, so hide the
option.
It's now been a while that glibc switched to git from cvs.
Get rid of cvs to download glibc; this will make for a good
cleanup before we add git support! :-)
It's broken anyway. Eg.:
- user is already niced at 10
- user configures to renice at 5
- breaks because user is not allowed to 'boost' his/her nice value
Bette let the user handle the renice with:
nice -XX ct-ng 'action'

Note: the MPFR site happens to be down at the time I wrote
this message, and happens to be down quite often.
Once it's back up'n'runnin', I'll mirror as much as possible

From this version of ltrace the maintainer has removed support for
GNU Autotools, so the patch sets needed to be reworked.
Included is the latest Debian patch, by the Debian ltrace maintainer
Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>, the OpenEmbedded patches for cross
compiling, by Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> and a further set of patches
by Joachim Nilsson <jocke@vmlinux.org> for crosstool-NG.
aria2 is a powerfull downloader that is capable of chunking and
parallel retrieval.
Due to li;itations in crosstool-NG retrieval facilities, it's not possible
to take fully advantage of aria2. It might happen that, in the future,
those limitations get lifted away, so we can take use features such as
parallel downloading from more than one server at the same time. For now,
it should still speed up downloads thanks to parallel downloading of chunks.
Don't select unneeded config knobs. Don't select non-existing config knobs.
Use the "no patch" config knob, instead of pointing to an non-exiting local
patch dir. Simplify the tuple-related scripts. Update the samples.
Woo... It seems the glibc guys finally decided that tarballs
were not deprecated, in fact.
The patchset was vampirised from Gentoo (kudos, guys!), and
applies to glibc+ports, so that's why it's been added as a
patchset against ports, not against glibc.
Add config option to build wtarget code with THUMB interworking.
This is used to build the C library as well as all other code
that runs on the target.
The newlib "team" rolls new releases about once a year (december).
This is quite a long time between releases, in case code was fixed.
So, allow user to use a CVS snapshot to benefit early from fixes
and enhancements to newlib.
The option to retrieve snapshots is already handled by
the generic 'specific date' and 'use latest' entries.
No need for a special case, as there's no code for it.
