Dumping the backtrace has been broken since changeset #652e56d6d35a:
scripts: execute each steps in a subshell
We can spawn sub-sub-shells in some cases.
The way the fault handler works is to dump the backtrace, but to avoid
printing it once for every sub-shell (which could get quite confusing),
it simply exits when it detects that it is being run in a sub-shell,
leaving to the top-level shell the work to dump the backtrace.
Because each step is executed in its own sub-shell, the variable arrays
that contain the step name, the source file and line number, are lost
when exiting the per-step sub-shell.
Hence, the backtrace is currently limited to printing only the top-level
main procedure of the shell.
Fix this thus:
- when dumping the bckatraces for the steps & the functions, remember
it was dumped, and only dump it if it was not already dumped
- at the top-level shell, print the hints
Also, rename the top-level step label.

Change CT_ExtractGit so that it clones the repository, instead of just
symlinking it. After cloning, any given ref is checked out, or if no
ref is given, the HEAD of the repository is checked out.
This makes CT_Extract behave similar for git repositories as it does
for tarballs, so that it for example can be used for passing glibc-ports

Some packages are available as LZMA tarballs. LZMA is a relatively recent
compression algorithm; it's slightly better than bzip2, but offers much
faster decompression. LZMA is now deprecated in favor of XZ, but some
packages switched to LZMA when XZ was not yet available, or still in its
infancy. Latest XZ (which totaly obsoletes LZMA) offers a backward LZMA-
compatible utility, so we can check for 'lzma' nonetheless.

./configure does check for the presence of gz and bzip2, so we can
safely use them in the build scripts.
On the other hand, more recent formats (eg. XZ) are not yet widely
available, and we do not want, and can't, force the user to install
them as a pre-requisite.
So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available
decompressors. For no, this is a static list, but the upcoming XZ
support will conditionnaly add to this list.

Users tend to look for the build log in the current working directory,
rather than in the toolchain's installation dir. While bundling the build
log in the toolchain installation dir is nice for distribution and review,
it can be easier to have the build log readily available in the working
directory, as it is quicker to get to it.
So, the build log stays in the working directory until the toolchain is

In case the remote file does not exist (and probably for some
other reasons as well), aria2 nonetheless creates an empty file
(or not empty for some other reasons).
The solution is to delete the file whenever aria2 fails.
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.
The newlib "team" rolls new releases about once a year (december).
This is quite a long time between releases, in case code was fixed.
So, allow user to use a CVS snapshot to benefit early from fixes
and enhancements to newlib.
Some projects' module (eg. newlib) are checked-out into a sudirectory
rather than into their own directory. Handle this case in the CT_GetCVS
function.
They have nothing to do in here, just let the user
configure his/her system appropriately.

Rationale:
Most of the time, soft-float problems are caused by this sucker of gcc:
it has support for soft float for all of the targets I've tried so far,
but does not activate this code until you dwelve into half a dozen of
files to make it accept to build and link the support code...
So, yes: gcc has soft-float support. And again, yes: gcc is a sucker.
If you select to debug ct-ng, then you have two new options:
- DEBUG_CT_PAUSE_STEPS : pause between every steps,
- DEBUG_CT_SAVE_STEPS : save state between every steps.
To restart a saved state, just set the RESTART make variable when calling make:
- make RESTART=<step_name>
- pipe size in Linux is only 8*512=4096 bytes
- pipe size is not setable
- when the feeding process spits out data faster than the eating
process can read it, then the feeding process stalls after 4KiB
of data sent to the pipe
- for us, the progress bar would spawn a sub-shell every line,
and the sub-shell would in turn spawn a 'date' command.
Which was sloooww as hell, and would cause some kind of a
starvation: the pipe was full most of the time, and the
feeding process was stalled all this time.
Now, we use internal variables and a little hack based onan offset
to determine the elapsed time. Much faster this way, but still
CPU-intensive.

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.
- the tarball directory is considered as a local copy, and tarballs are copied to a working area,
- the sources and build directories (CT_SRC_DIR and CT_BUILD_DIR) are now computed, and no longer an option,
- the build dir has been renamed from 'build' to 'targets'.
That should ease preparing a tarball of the resulting target.
