A few facts:
- building the C library requires a proper core compiler
- core compiler is issued from one of the core passes
- the C library is required to build libstdc++
- newlib is only built for baremetal
- in bare metal, the final compiler is issued from one of the core passes
So we need to build the C library between core pass 1 and core pass 2.
The only place is eithe libc_headers() or libc_start_files(). The most
pertinent seems to be libc_start_files().
So we build newlib from libc_start_files(), and leave libc() empty.
For uClibc, the name of the Blackfin architecture is 'bfin'. Actually,
the naming of the architecture is quite messy: for toolchain tuples
and uClibc, it's bfin, but for the kernel, it's blackfin. We've
arbitraly choosen to name it "blackfin" in Crosstool-NG.
Add Blackfin-related uClibc patch to fix a build failure related to
fork() being used in unistd/daemon.c.
Yann E. MORIN:
Apply the patch to the kernel/linux build script to use 'linux'
in the noMMU tuples. See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-04/msg00010.html
We can not rely on the user-provided version string (be it via the
choice, or manually entered), so fallback to reading version.h,
which is both reliable and always present.
It's now been a while that glibc switched to git from cvs.
Get rid of cvs to download glibc; this will make for a good
cleanup before we add git support! :-)
If the selected ARCH is dual-bitness (eg. supports 32- and 64-bit),
then we need to know the correct place where to fetch some headers.
Currently, this applies only to x86 variants: i386 and x86_64.
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
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.
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
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.
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".
They have nothing to do in here, just let the user
configure his/her system appropriately.

- introduce the config dir, where components can store their config files
- move the munged uClibc config file to the config dir
- now, the state dir really is an indication that a build can be restarted
Thanks to Groleo Marius <groleo@gmail.com> for spotting the inconsistency
of the state dir usage, and suggesting this change.

- recently, tarballs for glibc 2.8 and 2.9 have appeared on the GNU ftp site
- always use a dot in version strings (eg. 2.9, not 2_9)

The glibc.sh script doesn't handle the glibc versions with
an underscore very well (bash expected integer error). I
have attached a small patch for that. Instead of looking
for "not period" I changed the sense to look for numbers.
I initially tried to make it look for either a period or
an underscore, but that didn't work like I wanted (probably
because I did something wrong).
Original patch modified to be more robust.

- renaming the dircetory in CT_ExtratAndPatch is wrong:
- patches against the C library addons may be build against the short *or* long name... :-(
- symlink is more robust, even if less nice
- renaming the directory _after_ CT_ExtractAndPatch is too late:
- if patches are against the short name, and we renamed too the long name, patches don't apply
- so we'll never reach the point where we rename

CT_LIBC_FILE:
- that one was not easy, as it had sneaked into CT_ExtractAndPatch
- which in turn made CT_ExtractAndPatch have references to C library addons
- 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
CT_MakeAbsolutePath:
- used only to make CT_LOCAL_TARBALLS_DIR canonical
- which is ((almost) useless:
- hopefully, the user entered a full path already
- if it's not the case, too bad...

They are nonetheless in sync and need not be regenerated.
Fix that by touching the files to have 'make' believe they are up-to-date (which they are).

It dates from dawn ages of the original crosstool code, and is not well explained. At that time, binutils might not understand the sysroot stuff, and it was necessary to remove absolute paths in that case.
