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.
grep is used when generating some .in files (in config.gen). If GREP_OPTIONS
contains --color=always, then the generated files will contains some escape
sequences setting the color, and mconf would choke on those escape sequences.
Always set and export an empty GREP_OPTIONS to avoid that.

The user shall provide a directory to install the toolchain into.
If he/she does not, this is an error, and shall be detected properly,
rather than relying on failure down the road.

Warn about a missing local tarball directory, only if it was configured.
Avoid the spurious message:
Directory '${CT_LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR}' does not exist.
Will not save downloaded tarballs to local storage.

In case the user specifies the LIBDIR with --libdir , or DOCDIR with
--docdir, install our support files in a sub-dir, so as not to mangle
existing (potentially system) files/dirs.
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.
Fix filenames in patch files for binutils-2.20.
Some patch files were only usable with patch argument '-p0'.
Fix the diff context to match 2.20 release.

When renumbering patches, the original patches get removed and replaced
with the new ones. This can be annoying to loose the original patches.
Fix this by putting the new patchs in a directory of their own.
While trying to build a toolchain with ct-ng 1.5.0,
arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi target,
I get the following error:
[INFO ] Installing C library headers
[EXTRA] Copying sources to build dir
[EXTRA] Applying configuration
[EXTRA] Building headers
[EXTRA] Installing headers
[ERROR] extra/scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [extra/scripts/unifdef] Error 1
[ERROR] Build failed in step 'Installing C library headers'
The following patch solves the problem.
(It's a backport of this uClibc commit:
http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=49e81cada73616864b9b31df0aeb6961c30f5a6e
)
[--SNIP from another mail--]
AFAIK this is a problem since glibc 2.10.
