Building cross-gdb in canadian cross requires expat/ncurses for the
host. Currently, 300-gdb.sh only builds expat/ncurses for the target
(for native-gdb). For cross-gdb on regular cross (build==host), expat
and ncurses are expected to be provided by the host.
There are two approaches possible:
- If building for canadian cross, build expat/ncurses for cross-gdb
just as the native-gdb does.
- Promote expat/ncurses to first class citizens and build them as
companion libs during the build of the build-to-host toolchain.
I am leaning towards the latter approach - it would also allow to
specify the versions for expat/ncurses rather than have them hardcoded
in 300-gdb.sh - but would appreciate feedback.

Having *.la in the installation directory breaks ltrace: in ltrace,
libtool somehow considers libsupc++ to be an "accessory library" and
does not add -lsupc++ to the link flags. Neither Ubuntu, nor RedHat
include *.la files into their packages for libstdc++.

The gold linker cannot currently be built in a static toolchain build.
This may get fixed in a future version of crosstool-NG.
Also, there is a bit of weirdness here. versions of binutils >= 2.21
have GOLD (BINUTILS_HAS_GOLD), but that doesn't mean it should be used.
For instance, if the architecture is not supported.
So with that, we create a new hidden option: BINUTILS_GOLD_SUPPORT
Which in turn depends on BINUTILS_GOLD_SUPPORTS_ARCH, BINUTILS_HAS_GOLD,
and not STATIC_TOOLCHAIN... then replace anything that previously
depended on BINUTILS_HAS_GOLD with our new BINUTILS_GOLD_SUPPORT option.
This closes#210

The issue with this sample is that the sh4-* targets in GCC do not
implement __builtin_trap() function. Starting with release 5.1,
GCC inserts abort() calls where NULL pointers are dereferenced. The
elf/dl-conflict.c in glibc is one such place: it calls elf_machine_rela
with NULL `sym' pointer. This causes an undefined `abort' symbol to
appear in the object file and as a result, pulls in some files during
the linking of the dynamic loader that are not supposed to. Eventually,
it results in link error due to multiple definitions of _itoa and some
other symbols.
The right fix would be to implement __builtin_trap() for sh4 in GCC.
A workaround would be adding -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to
CFLAGS-dl-conflict.c in elf/Makefile. Until either of these happens,
though, pin the GCC version to 4.9.3 - the last that did not generate
`abort' calls. Note that the version where GCC started to generate
`abort' calls is apparently different for different architectures;
the issue in [1] was reported against GCC 4.9.
References:
[1] https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-10/msg00807.html
(similar issue on HP-PA which was resolved by implementing
__builtin_trap)
Options were renamed. However, matching current option names result
in a compile error for strfmon_l.o in glibc: GCC 4.6 detects an
unitialized variable in its own va_arg() implementation. Likely,
an older GLIBC was used when this sample was submitted - which did
not provide -Werror in CFLAGS.
Thus, use most recent GCC (5.2.0) and revert GLIBC_FORCE_UNWIND to
its default value, 'y' (as forced unwind is required with this version).
- Incompatible ISL/CLooG were requested by config after newer releases
of both were brought in.
- Consistency with other samples: save tarballs (which will avoid
downloading them each time from Travis), extra logging.
This should ideally be upstreamed to uclibc maintainers, but with the
last release more than 3 years ago, I wouldn't hold my breath for a
fix being released any time soon.
- New configurations:
- CC_GCC_TARGET_FINAL:
Use the default targets "all" and "install" for the final compiler for
bare metal.
- Adding parameter "build_step" to function do_gcc_core_backend:
do_gcc_core_backend is used for the core compiler and in case of bare metal
for the final compiler, too. To have better control over the parameters for
the final compiler "build_step" is used.
- Used for proper logging.
- Use CT_CC_GCC_CORE_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY or CT_CC_GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG_ARRAY.
- If CT_CC_GCC_TARGET_FINAL is set and the final compiler is build then the
make targets for the final compiler are used ("all", "install").

I forgot that the logs must stay small, and if they fail we'll grab the
last few hundered lines.
Note, the logs must stay smaller then 4M.
