2.11 or 2.12 being unstable. So stop marking them as experimental.

We make it an option, as not all combinations of architectures
vs. compiler vs. glibc/eglibc exhibit the issue. Mostly visible
on old glibc versions, it seems...
This is a missing part from the glibc/eglibc merger... :-/

Enabling plugins in binutils is not enough, and gcc also
needs to be ./configured with --enable-plugins, although
this is not documented anywhere... :-/

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.

gold is a new, optimised, multi-threaded linker with support
for plugins.
Add support for gold starting with binutils 2.21. Although 2.20
also had gold, the configure flags have changed, and supporting
2.20 would be a mess in the code.

In the previous patches to glibc and uclibc, we standardized on hidden

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.
So do not offer that possibility in the menuconfig.
Thanks to Thomas Petazzoni for spotting, and helping to solve, the issue!
