ncurses 5.9 wants tic to be either one of:
- $TIC_PATH
- /usr/bin/tic
Of course, se do not want the latter, for it can be incompatible if the
ncurses in the build system is too old (eg. RHEL 5.6, Debian Lenny...).
So, force TIC_PATH to the location of our own tic.
Also, install tic alongside the other build tools, not in a sub-dir
of the toolchain installation dir.

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.

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.

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.

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/...
Reported by: Trevor Woerner
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-03/msg00055.html
(transplanted from 26e89d367ea11660fd3a0bf0bcad8763e4fa21cf)
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.
- find the executables extension (needed under some OS, like Winblows)
- build tic in //
- simplify the make and install command lines

Seems ncurses 5.7 need build host stage for tic step; if use host tic
(ubuntu) the build process hang in the below step.
So I guess need to build ncurses host stage to build new tic
and provided a patch to that efect.
And in fact, we do need "tic" to run on the _build_ system to properly
generate the terminfo database.
Note: this is fully functional, but still requires a litle bit of
tweaking so that ${CT_BUILD}-gcc gets used instead of plain gcc.
But that's a minor problem for now...

- that one was not easy, as it had sneaked into CT_ExtractAndPatch

- which in turn relieved the C library _extract functions from doing their own job
- which in turn imposed some nasty tricks in CT_ExtractAndPatch
- which in turn made life easier for the DUMA _get and _extract functions
- which unveiled some bizare behavior for pushd and popd:
- if using smthg ike: 'pushd foo |bar':
- the directory is *neither* changed
- *nor* is it pushed onto the stack
- which made popd fail

Add a uClibc-0.9.29 patch directory with one patch (from me!).
Update the armeb-unknown-linux-uclibc sample to uClibc-0.9.29.
Some eyecandy in the gdb build process.
- add a framework to easily add new ones
- add gdb as a first debug facility
- add patches for gdb
After the kernel checked its installed headers, clean up the mess of .checked.* files.
Reorder scripts/crosstool.sh:
- dump the configuration early
- renice early
- get info about build system early, when setting up the environment
- when in cross or native, the host tools are those of the build system, and only in this case
- elapsed time calculations moved to scripts/functions
Remove handling of the color: it's gone once and for all.
Update tools/addToolVersion.sh:
- handle debug facilities
- commonalise some code
- remove dead tools (cygwin, tcc)
Point to my address for bug reports.
