As time passes, a known issues can be no longer applicable (because
the component has been fixed, or a workaround ahs been added in the
crosstool-NG scripts/config...).
Some may also be unconfirmed, with no way to easily trigger the error,
or applies to old versions of components...
Add a status for every known issues.

In case date(1) does not support nanosecond resolution, it does
not interpret '%N', and leave it as-is. So we have to remove it.
Note that some versions replaces '%N' with 'N', so we have to
take this into account as well.

Using CT-NG with progress bar disabled, still prints CR ('\r') characters
on the output. When you capture the output to a file as part of an
automated build, it shows extra empty lines.

Managing the shared version of the companion libraries
has become cumbersome.
Also, it will one day be possible to use the companion
libraries from the host distribution, and then we will
be able to easily use either shared or static libs.
As a side note, while working on the canadian-rework
series, it has become quite more complex to properly
handle shared companion libraries, as they need to be
built both for the build and gost systems. That's not
easy to handle. At all.

When building canadian cross compiler, I have some trouble with
configure defining caddr_t as a macro, like:
#define caddr_t char *
When combined with the types.h where caddr_t is protected together
with daddr_t, the typedef of caddr_t breaks.
This patch works around it by protecting the caddr_t typedef
specifically.
I am uncertain as to the real cause and solution to this :-(

In OE-lite we use the attached patch for building i686 cross compilers.
Thanks to Khem Raj for original patch :-)
At the same time, remove the corresponding patch that was in
the ports patchset.

gold is not capable of building glibc/eglibc, so we have to
force using the BFD linker, ld.bfd.
Offer a blind option that affected components can select to
force use of the BFD linker during the build.

- ARM

Add support for building SPARC targeted toolchain.
With this patch I have built a working sparc V8 (32 toolchain).
Testing shows that not all gcc versions works well:
4.4.1 OK (kernel builds and the final kernel can boot)
4.4.2 Not tested
4.4.3 Not tested
4.4.4 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.4.5 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.5.1 BAD (Build fails with a spill related ICE - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35664)
4.5.2 OK (kernel builds and boots)
I have successfully been using the 4.5.2 version for a few months.
This patch does not add support for the LEON variant.
That may come later.

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).
While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.

So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.
Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.
Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.
