Currently, we rely on an existing external cross-compiler targetting
the target, to build the C library.
This can pause quite a few problems if that compiler is different from
the one we are building, because it could introduce some ABI issues.
This patch removes this dependency, by building the core compilers
as we do for standard cross, and also by building the binutils and
gcc, for running on the build machine.
This means we no longer need to offer the cross-sompiler selection in
the menuconfig.

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

The gold linker does currently support only a limited set of architectures:
- x86 (32- and 64-bit)
- ARM
Hide the gold option for other architectures.

Add support for building SPARC targeted toolchain.
With this patch I have built a working sparc V8 (32 toolchain).
Testing shows that not all gcc versions works well:
4.4.1 OK (kernel builds and the final kernel can boot)
4.4.2 Not tested
4.4.3 Not tested
4.4.4 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.4.5 BAD (Kernel can build but fails during boot)
4.5.1 BAD (Build fails with a spill related ICE - http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35664)
4.5.2 OK (kernel builds and boots)
I have successfully been using the 4.5.2 version for a few months.
This patch does not add support for the LEON variant.
That may come later.

PPL 0.11+ installs three libs: lippl, libppl_c and libpwl.
libppl_c has a dependency on libpwl (at least for watchdog stuff).
While gcc correctly links with libppl and libppl_c, it does not
pull libpwl in. In case of shared libs, this is not a problem, as
libppl_c has a NEEDED dependency on libpwl. But for static libs,
that does not work. Although libppl_c.la exists and has a correct
dependency on lipwl, somehow gcc misses it. So we have to force
pulling libpwl when needed.

It can be quite confusing for a new-comer to find strange
version numbers for gcc, so hide the Linaro versions by
default.
Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
Before gcc 4.6 was released, Linaro has a pre-release available.
Include that version in the config list.
Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
So far, we've had a version always select appropriate _or_later option,
which in turn would select all previous _or_later options.
Because the dependencies on companion libs were cumulative, that was
working OK. But the upcoming 4.6 will no longer depend on libelf, so
we can't keep the cumulative scheme we've been using so far.
Have each release family select the corresponding dependencies, instead
of relying on selecting previous _or_later.

Plugins are shared objects, and when building a toolchain statically,
the gcc build system breaks havok (although there is no hard technical
reasons it should not be possible)...
And consequently, do not enable plugin supoprt in binutils.

In fact, it is only supported in a few legacy versions.
Keep LT available for all eglibc versions, although it might need
a similar safeguard...
Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>
By default, recent versions of glibc and eglibc will build some
functions that take format strings (eg. printf, syslog...) with
run-time checks against some format string attacks. This is
called a fortified build.
Unfortunately, this fails somehow while building the instrumented
version of syslog, with some kind of circular dependency...
Disable fortified builds by default, and hide the enabling option
behind EXPERIMENTAL for daring users...

I haven't noticed the usual experimental testers complain about eglibc

We make it an option, as not all combinations of architectures
vs. compiler vs. glibc/eglibc exhibit the issue. Mostly visible

Since the advent of make-3.82, some packages now break due to changes
in make-3.82, being stricter than 3.81 when interpreting the Makefiles.
This has bugged us a bit too much so far, and I believe fixing all
of them is a long road, while simply building make-3.81 is the easiest
route for now.
Of course, in the long term, packages will get fixed upstream, and we
should back-port the fixes to old versions, and get rid of building
make-3.81. In the meantime...
Reported several times on the mailing list.

In certain circumstances, removing the destination/installation directory
is a bad idea. For example, when the build environment is already taking
care of sanitising the build tree, and pre-installs stuff in there, it is
a very bad idea to remove the destination directory.
This happens now in buildroot, as the crostool-NG backend now installs the
toolchain in the common host-tools directory, and pre-install there a few
host-utilities (eg. host-automake and host-gawk).
Provide a config knob to turn on/off the removal of the destination
directory, defaulting to 'y' (previous behavior), and forced to 'n' when
used as a backend.

Use of the sysroot is highly recommended, and the non-sysroot case is
both obsolete and not widely tested.
Before the non-sysroot case can go away, deprecate it.

Depending on local policies, some users have expressed a need to
have the sysroot be named differently than the hard-coded name.
Add an option for that.
Default to 'sysroot' to match the existing literature.
While at it, replace 'sys-root' with 'sysroot' everywhere we
reference the sysroot.

This is an obsolete version which is no longer used by any sample (the only
user, the ia64 sample, has been removed).
It also makes the code path a bit complex, with twists just to accomodate
that version. Removing the version will make those twists go away, and
will ease commonalisation of glibc and eglibc in the future (hopefully!).

ia64 is broken in every gcc/glibc combinations I tested (except for the
existing sample that used very old versions).
Nobody complained on the list about not being able to build recent versions.
So the only way forward I can see is to remove the architecture altogether.

also had gold, the configure flags have changed, and supporting
2.20 would be a mess in the code.

Building non-threaded glibc has been unsupported for a long time, now:
http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2005-08/msg00091.html
As eglibc is a spin-off of glibc: ditto.
