Add the option to build a cross-compiler for kernel type 'mingw'.
The resulting cross-compiler can be used to build applications on a Linux host
that can be run on a Windows target.
Compiler is build using the mingwrt and w32-api packages aviable from the
MinGW project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw).
The windows headers (w32-api package) are extracting with the kernel_headers
step The libraries and other headers from both packages are build and
installed in the various steps of libc

[yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr: fix kernel headers comment, don't "return 0"]

glibc installs some bash-scripts, but uses the path to the buildtool
bash as interpreter (on the shebang line). This is only a symlink to
the real bash, and thus is not available at runtime.
Fix that by assuming that bash on the target *will* be /bin/bash.
In C, the proper syntax for a bit-wise OR is a single '|', not two.
It worked so far because all was well:
- X_OK == 1
- R_OK||X_OK == 1
- the file we searched for had the x-bit set
-> access( file, R_OK||X_OK ) worked
- inicidentally, the file we searched for also had the r-bit set,
but we were not testing that in fact.
Accept a local tarball name as the source of the Linux kernel headers,
rather than forcing the user to use either an upstream tarball, or a
local pre-installed headers tree.
Adds patch for GDB v6.8, v7.0, v7.0.1 to fix canadian
cross building of GDB for powerpc.
See original patch information here:
http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9638
The patch is not required for GDB v7.1 (fixed).
Tested in canadian combination using mingw32 and powerpc toolchains.
Tested to not affect normal cross building of GDB for powerpc target.

Here, we implement a highly ugly hack. I'm not proud of that one...
To build the libstdc++ library, the compiler requires the C library. In
case we build for non-baremetal, this is normally handled by the final
step, later.
But in the case of bare-metal, we never go through the final step (because
it does not work, and it seems complex enough to make it work), so the
baremetal compilers are issued out of the core step.
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.
Some components have configuration options that can depend on
generic options, so they should go below those.
uClibc for example:
- has its own options (wchar...)
- uses the generic options (threads...)
- if linuxthreads chosen, offers two impls
So we need to be able to split the components options in 2,
one part that is above the generic options, and one part that
ends up below the generic options.
The docs/CREDITS file dates back to the SVN repository.
Now that we use Mercurial, the repository stores appropriate
authorship for each commit. Say so in the CREDITS.
static linking is not possible on MacOS, and unnessecary on other systems.
The old optimization and warning flags crash the gcc on MacOS
and (imho) are a bit overdone for this software.
The configure script correctly detects libsupc++ and libiberty, but in
the linker stage it tries to link in both libraries without taking care
of the test result.

This patch adds support for installing the gcc test suite. A helper
Makefile is provided for building and running the gcc tests.
The default configuration runs all gcc tests and requires automatic
ssh/scp login access to a networked target board. See README for
more details.
Note: Current feature is tested with the powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
sample but it should work with others as well.

The usage of hg mq is imho not very well documented.
Give a short intro for the most important use cases
for contributions to ct-ng.
yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
Slightly rewrote the explanations for the introductory message.
The shell wrapper script uses a nonportable call to readlink.
Thus, always use the binary wrapper under BSD/MacOS.
yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
Use 'case' instead of 'if'.
