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
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 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.

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.
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.
Add config option to build wtarget code with THUMB interworking.
This is used to build the C library as well as all other code
that runs on the target.
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.
newlib handles the build/host/target a bit differently as one would expect:
build : not used
host : the nachine that builds newlib
target : the machine on which newlib will run
Some patchsets have superfluous members in their names (eg. the ones coming
from Gentoo), so it can come in handy to pass a sed RE to strip them out of
the final patch name.
Also add a 'fake' mode, where the command will only be printed and not
executed, so we can check beforehand if the rename will be OK.
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.
The option to retrieve snapshots is already handled by
the generic 'specific date' and 'use latest' entries.
No need for a special case, as there's no code for it.
For CLooG/PPL 0.15.3, the directory name was simply cloog-ppl.
For any later versions, the driectory name does have the version, such as
cloog-ppl-0.15.4.

Add the WRAPPER_NEEDED silent config option, that can be selected by
components that require it (companion libs so far).
Rely on this config option when deciding to install the wrapper,
instead of checking GMP/MPFR or PPL/CLoog/MPC.
Add an initial wrapper:
- find the realpath of the tool being called
- add the '.' in front of the tool name
- add the '/lib' dir to the base dir of the tool
- set and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- execve the real tool
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.
During the conversion to using bash arrays, the glibc build script
was improperly converted, and contains an incorrect variable
assignment to the config_options array.
For every components where it makes sense, use bash arrays (instead
of a string with space-separated values) to store the options pased
to ./configure.
Rewrite part of the code to better match the rest.
Most notably, rewrite handling of:
if [ ... ] && [ ... ]
to:
if [ ... -a ... ]
This has the positive side effect of calling "[" only once, although
"[" is probably a shell built-in.
To test for existing files, use "[ -f blabla ]", not "[ -a blabla ]"
Checking for a file exsitence with "-a" is a bashism.
Althoug we _are_ using bash, it's disturbing as it can be misread as
the 'and' operator. Fix by using "-f".
The tmul test uses a compiled-in input file in $(srcdir).
The problem is that the Makefile passes it unquoted. The C code
tries to stringify it using clever macros, which may *usually* work.
In my case the source directory was named:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
And guess what? During testing I found out the program fails because
it tries to open:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-1-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
Yes, CPP tokenized the macro before stringifying it and not surprisingly
the 'linux' part was converted to 1.
[on Fedora-10: cpp (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)]
So the attached patch simplify the macros and pass the path as string
from the Makefile.
