Because we need our own host tic, we have to build it; and we do build
it statically for now.
But as MacOS/Darwin/Whatever-you-call-it does not support static linking
(what a shame!), it fails.
Anyway, we don't really care it being shared, in the end.

gdb needs to know where to find the libstdc++ helper python script
to do, well, whatever it has to do with it...
We can't install that in the user's ~/.gdbinit, it's too complex to
handle all the cases. Moreover, if the user is using more than one
toolchain, we can't put all that stuff in there...
Just provide a sample config file the user can adapt to his/her
own needs.
Thanks go to Khem RAJ for providing such a hint:

Cross-gdb depends on expat and python. If either is missing, cross-gdb will
build successfully, but lacking some features.
Especially, if expat is missing, cross-gdb will be unable to parse the target
description, which may lead to runtime malfunctions and the following GDB
warning:
"Can not parse XML target description; XML support was disabled at compile time"
Hence, expat should be considered mandatory.
On the other hand, the features missing without python are not critical, so
python should not be considered mandatory.
This patch does the following:
- At configure time, warn the user if either expat or python is missing.
- In menuconfig, disable the static build options regarding cross-gdb if no
static version of expat is available, and disable cross-gdb if expat is
missing.

"crosstool-NG-${CT_VERSION}" is currently the default for TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION,

This patch prepends "crosstool-NG ${CT_VERSION}" to TOOLCHAIN_PKGVERSION before
passing it to --with-pkgversion.

This patch sets the runtime sysroot to fix the following GDB warning:
"Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
and track explicitly loaded dynamic code."
The sysroot can later be changed within gdb with the `set sysroot`
command if necessary.

The reunification of the glibc/eglibc code paths exposed a nasty
bug in the glibc build: use of PARALLELMFLAGS breaks the build.

ltrace 0.5.3 currently fails to build for target mips because MY_TARGET
(introduced by patches/ltrace/0.5.3/150-allow-configurable-arch.patch)
is set to 'mips' via CT_ARCH, while the mips specific stuff in ltrace
(0.5.3) is stored under sysdeps/linux-gnu/mipsel:
result: *** No rule to make target `mips/arch.h', needed by `sysdep.h'.
Stop.

I ran into some minor difficulties looking through the build log for a
particular file: I wasn't interested in seeing it unpacked, but only
when it is built or installed. Adding these two levels allows me to
differentiate between those cases.
[Yann E. MORIN: Those are blind log levels, and are used only to search
in the build-log afterward.]

For now, ncurses is the only dependable target library built for gdb.
But expat is coming, and there's no reason to install each library in
its own place.
So, install ncurses in a generic directory, where other dependable
libraries can be installed as well.

Although the gdb ./configure advertises for GMP and MPFR, those libraries
are not used by gdb (the ./configure is used across different packages,
hence the check for GMP/MPFR). See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-08/msg00168.html
The same applies to MPC.

GDB requires PDcurses instead of ncurses while running on Windows.
So, do not always compile ncurses in case GDB needs to build.
PDcurses is provided by an earlier build step and is not described in
this file.

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.
The native 'tic' will _always_ be run on the build
machine, so no need to handle canadian/native/...

ltrace uses i386 and x86_64, whereas crosstool-NG use x86 for both cases.
Fix that by detecting what bitness we're building for, and pass appropriate
i386 or x86_64 to ltrace's configure.
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.
We only build the static ncurses, to be used to build the native gdb,
and it needs not be available for anyone but us. So install it into
a temporary place, and get rid of it once gdb is built.
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.
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
ncurses is built solely for the sake of building a native gdb.
The user should not rely on this library to build his/her userland,
but should rather build his/her own. So we remove it from the
sysroot after we successfully build the native gdb.
Downoading a non-existing file from sourceforge gives you a "200 OK"
and an index.html. As we try to retrieve a .tar.bz2 first, and duma
is bundled in a .tar.gz, we won't get appropriate content, so
just force the extension to avoid the problem.
Thanks to Ingmar Schraub <is@eseco.de> for pointing out the issue.
