By default curl doesn't folow redirects. This breaks sourceforge downloads.
Add the -L option to curl to fix this.
Curl also downloads the html as a file even when it gets a 404. This breaks
http downloads when using the failback system. Add the -f option to curl to fix
this.

If the selected ARCH is dual-bitness (eg. supports 32- and 64-bit),
then we need to know the correct place where to fetch some headers.
Currently, this applies only to x86 variants: i386 and x86_64.
Even if the selected ARCH does not support different bitness (or we do
not support building with another bitness), still select the appropriate
bitness.
Remove references to the seemingly native toolchains do not build
issue as it seems to be fixed.

This is a set of patches for binutils-2.20 that have been "ported", or rather
shamelessly stolen, from the OpenEmbedded project:
http://cgit.openembedded.org/cgit.cgi/openembedded/tree/recipes/binutils/binutils-2.20
Tried and tested on Arm (big-endian Xscale, and little-endian i.MX27) with GCC 4.4.2

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
the MPFR tarballs on my site, but in the meantime, you'll
have to handle it by yourself (patience...).
On x86, gcc-4.4.x breaks when building for target armeb.
It is still required to configure with: --disable-shared
Note: if building on an x86_64, there is no need to pass --disable-shared
Trying to download every extension in turn does not work.
The Debian server returns a friendly 404-page that is
saved as the orig.tar.bz2 file. Help the helper by giving
it the extension to retrieve.
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.

I finally had the time (and board) to spend some time with

I was able to successfully build and run v2.6.27-davinci1 kernel
(Kevin Hilman's branch) with busybox based initramfs on it. I don't
believe that any later kernel would represent any challenge (it just
happens that I'm currently working with this version). What a thrill
:).
crosstool-NG/toolchain config is attached. It may be useful to someone
using crosstool-NG ...
Using this: tar cf - -C "/some/place" |tar xf - -C "/some/other/place"
to copy a directory to another place does not properly fail (when it does).
Using this instead: cp -av "/some/place" "/some/other/place"
makes it easy to see why and how it failed.
Impacted:
libc/uClibc
debug/ltrace
tools/sstrip
scripts/populate
In case the remote file does not exist (and probably for some
other reasons as well), aria2 nonetheless creates an empty file
(or not empty for some other reasons).
The solution is to delete the file whenever aria2 fails.
Here's a couple of patches to get strace 4.5.19 to configure and build
properly with the latest kernel headers. Not pretty, but hopefully
enough while we wait for 4.5.20 to be released.
With the current strace-4.5.19 patches I failed to get the configure
script running even on my host environment. Also, when cross building
the configure script needs to look for the proper system headers to be
able to properly set HAVE_LINUX_NETLINK_H. Otherwise you get:
[EXTRA] Building strace
[ERROR] /home/jocke/x-tools/targets/src/strace-4.5.19/net.c:976:
error: field 'nl' has incomplete type
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [net.o] Error 1
[ERROR] make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
The fix was simple, backport a change set from the git[1] tree and run
autoreconf to update the configure script.

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.
