For some architectures, it is legit to have an alternate value in the
'architecture' part of the tuple. For example:
armv5te-*
armv7a8-*
Besides, some packages expect the tuple to reflect the arch variant
(eg. openMPI) to detect the variant's capabilities (eg. atomic
primitives).
This patch adds an option for the user to specify a suffix to be added
to the arch-part of the tuple.

It's been some time now we've had those features, so unmark them
being experimental.
It does not mean everything is perfect, but may gather some more
testing of those features.

Re-order the three entries in the float choice, in a more sensible
order, ie:
- all hard-float options come first, then soft-float
- options that use the FPU are marked so: hard and softfp
- options that do not use the FPU are marked so: software

Add a toolchain-wide option to enable multilib.
This is currently a noop, and will be implemented
in subsequent patches for each impacted components.

Do not prompt for the type of floating-point support, if the
architecture did not explicitly stated that it did support it.

Changeset #149c33923f47 broke the architectures that do not
support the --with-float=X ./configure flag (in gcc). For example,
x86_64 does not support it.
Add a new blind config option that architectures can set to tell
they support floating point selection.

First, 'SUPPORT' should be spelled 'SUPPORTS'.
Second, 'SUPPORT_XXX' really means 'supports --with-xxx', so rename the
affected options accordingly. Update the affected archs to match the new
namings.

Some architectures support a mixed hard/soft floating point, where
the compiler emits hardware floating point instructions, but passes
the operands in core (aka integer) registers.
For example, ARM supports this mode (to come in the next changeset).
Add support for softfp cross compilers to the GCC and GLIBC
configuration. Needed for Ubuntu and other distros that are softfp.

With the upcoming softfp support, the case..esac test would become
a bit convoluted if it were to test three different booleans.

kconfig bools are disabled by default, so specifying 'default n' is useless and
noisy. This patch removes all occurrences of 'default n'.

Move the arch-specific options to the second-part of
the generated files, so they appear after the generic
options, but before the optimisations.

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.
Rationale:
Most of the time, soft-float problems are caused by this sucker of gcc:
it has support for soft float for all of the targets I've tried so far,
but does not activate this code until you dwelve into half a dozen of
files to make it accept to build and link the support code...
So, yes: gcc has soft-float support. And again, yes: gcc is a sucker.
- associated patch set
- update the munging function to accomodate the new config variables
libfloat version was missing from the previous commit... :-(
Better handle the case where the sample directory already exist but isn't under revision control, and in case the destination file doesn't exist in the sample directory.
