Verify that the value of BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP set by the user in the
Buildroot configuration really matches the external toolchain
capabilities by checking that a C++ cross-compiler is available.

Multilib toolchains provide different versions of the base libraries
for different architecture variants. For example, the ARM Codesourcery
toolchain provides base libraries for ARMv5 (default), ARMv4t and
Thumb2.
Depending on the -march= argument passed to gcc, the sysroot used by
the compiler is therefore different. This means that the sysroot
location in CROSS-gcc -v cannot be used. Instead, we must use
CROSS-gcc -print-sysroot when available and fall back to the old way
if unavailable.
Moreover, we cannot simply copy the full sysroot as we used to do,
because the sysroot organization of multilib toolchain is more
complicated. In Codesourcery toolchains, we have :
/
etc -- for ARMv5
lib -- for ARMv5
sbin -- for ARMv5
usr -- for ARMv5 (includes headers)
armv4t
etc -- for ARMv4t
lib -- for ARMv4t
sbin -- for ARMv4t
usr -- for ARMv4t (no headers!)
thumb2
etc -- for Thumb2
lib -- for Thumb2
sbin -- for Thumb2
usr -- for Thumb2 (no headers!)
So we have the default ARMv5 architecture variant that is installed in
the main directory, and we have subdirectories for the ARMv4t and
Thumb2 architecture variants.
Copying the full sysroot to the staging directory doesn't work. All
our packages are based on the fact that they should install libraries
in staging/usr/lib. But if ARMv4t is used, the compiler would only
look in staging/armv4t/usr/lib for libraries (even when overriding the
sysroot with the --sysroot option, the multilib compiler suffixes the
sysroot directory with the architecture variant if it matches a
recognized one).
Therefore, we have to copy only the sysroot that we are interested
in. This is rendered a little bit complicated by the fact that the
armv4t and thumb2 sysroot do not contain the headers since they are
shared with the armv5 sysroot.
So, this patch :
* Modifies how we compute SYSROOT_DIR in order to use -print-sysroot
if it exists. SYSROOT_DIR contains the location of the main sysroot
directory, i.e the sysroot for the default architecture variant.
* Defines ARCH_SUBDIR as the subdirectory in the main sysroot for the
currently selected architecture variant (in our case, it can be
".", "armv4t" or "thumb2"). ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR is defined as the full
path to the sysroot of the currently selected architecture variant.
* Modifies copy_toolchain_lib_root (which copies a library to the
target/ directory) so that libraries are taken from
ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR instead of SYSROOT_DIR. This ensures that
libraries for the correct architecture variant are properly copied
to the target.
* Modifies copy_toolchain_sysroot (which copies the sysroot to the
staging/ directory), so that it copies the contents of
ARCH_SYSROOT_DIR, and if needed, adds the headers from the main
sysroot directory and a symbolic link (armv4t -> . or thumb2 -> .)
to make the compiler believe that its sysroot is really in armv4t/
or thumb2/.
Tested with Codesourcery 2009q1 ARM toolchain, Crosstool-NG ARM glibc
and ARM uClibc toolchains.

The copy_toolchain_lib_root function was making the assumption that
all libraries were stored inside the /lib directory of the sysroot
directory. However, this isn't true for certain toolchains,
particularly for the libstdc++ library.
The function is therefore reworked to find the library and its related
symlink either in /lib or /usr/lib in the sysroot, and copies it at
the same location in the target directory.

The toolchains built with buildroot use specially crafted paths for their
sysroot and prefix. Fix that by asking gcc where it finds a file we
know by relative path to the sysroot.
This has the side effect of greatly simplifying the sysroot detection
in every cases tested so far (BR toolchains, CT-NG toolchains, and
CodeSourcery toolchains).
Fixes bug #851.
Thanks Thomas Petazzoni for the hint and some testings.

BR2_UCLIBC_PROGRAM_INVOCATION is a toolchain configuration option,
like BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, on which some packages
depend. Therefore, it should be handled like BR2_INET_IPV6 and
BR2_INET_RPC in order to work properly with external toolchains.
Since we move it out of toolchain/uClibc/Config.in into
toolchain/Config.in.2, we rename the option to BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION
(since BR2_INET_RPC and others don't have UCLIBC in their name).

As a minimal test to the external toolchain, check that $(TARGET_CC)
is actually an existing executable file. That way, if the user
misconfigures the toolchain path and/or prefix, a meaningful error
message will be shown.

Lionel Landwerlin <lionel.landwerlin@openwide.fr> reported that using
the external toolchain support when LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 doesn't work,
since the messages printed by gcc -v are translated in another
language, defeating the grep ^Configured test.
Therefore, as per Lionel suggestion, we force LANG=C when calling
$(TARGET_CC) -v.

* Introduce documentation for each function of ext-tool.mk, and
document all parameters of the functions.
* Pass SYSROOT_DIR as argument to all functions that require it,
instead of computing it manually everywhere
* Use $(shell) instead of backquotes
* Check that the SYSROOT_DIR variable is not empty, which means that
the external toolchain doesn't support --sysroot. In that case,
bail out with a nice error message.

This patch adds some checks on the external toolchains.
First, it checks that the C library selection is correct, by looking
if gcc is able to find the main C library file through the
-print-file-name option.
Then, it attempts to check if the Buildroot toolchain options match
the configuration of the toolchain :
* for glibc, it checks that IPv6, RPC, locales, wide-char, large file
support Buildroot options are enabled, since with glibc all these
features are always available (at least this is the assumption we
make) ;
* for uClibc, it checks the Buildroot options with the uClibc
configuration file in $SYSROOT_DIR/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h

The current Buildroot works just well with sysrootable glibc
toolchains, using the external toolchain feature. The only thing that
needs to be customized is the set of libraries that must be compiled
to the target.
The following patch takes a simple approach to making it easier for
users to use glibc toolchains. It just adds a uClibc/glibc choice in
the external toolchain menu. Then, depending on that selection, the
configuration system will choose a sane default value for the library
files list.
The other advantage of having a uClibc/glibc choice is that in the
future, we'll be able to add checks verifying that the external
toolchain configuration matches the features selected in Buildroot (in
terms of IPv6, RPC, locales or large file support).

We used to use different gdb configs for internal and external toolchains
because mconf won't source the same file twice. This works, but is kind of
sub optimal, as people forget to keep them in sync.
Fix it to use the same file for both situations by shuffling around the
config options a bit. Should work identical to before (except for the newer
gdb versions available for ext).

* In toolchain/external-toolchain/ext-tool.mk, copy the contents of
the sysroot directory to the staging dir.
* In package/Makefile.in, add a --sysroot CFLAGS pointing to the
staging dir
* Remove the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS definition from
TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS. I haven't investigated exactly why, but with
these options, DirectFB fails to build because it cannot find
PTHREAD_RECURSIVE_MUTEX_INITIALIZER_NP, even if DirectFB's Makefile
properly sets -D_GNU_SOURCE.
I have already sent this patch on December, 2nd to the mailing-list,
but got no feedback. So let's commit and see what happens :-)

External toolchain C++ cross-compiler fix
package/Makefile.in resets CXX to "" in TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS if
BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX is not set to 'y'. However, when using an external
toolchain, BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX is not set even if the toolchain has a
C++ cross-compiler.
This patch adds a new BR2_GCC_CROSS_CXX option in the external
toolchain configuration menu, so that just like BR2_INET_RPC,
BR2_INET_IPV6 and the others, it can be set according to the external
toolchain configuration.

Fix issues with binary external toolchains
Fix two problems encountered while using an external binary toolchain
generated by crosstool-ng:
- Don't remove the ending / in LIB_DIR, otherwise find $LIB_DIR
-maxdepth 1 doesn't find any file in the case LIB_DIR is a symbolic
link and not a directory.
For some reason, find -maxdepth 1 doesn't have the same behaviour
on directories and symbolic links. Demonstration:
$ mkdir foobar
$ touch foobar/t1
$ touch foobar/t2
$ ln -s foobar barfoo
$ find foobar -maxdepth 1 -name 't*'
foobar/t1
foobar/t2
$ find barfoo -maxdepth 1 -name 't*'
$ find barfoo/ -maxdepth 1 -name 't*'
barfoo/t1
barfoo/t2
* Make sure the libraries are writable, otherwise the strip operation
might fail. The library files may not be writable if the toolchain
is not writable (which may happen if one wants to prevent anyone
from overwriting the toolchain, which is done by crosstool-ng, for
example).

Improve external toolchain support
* Do not put kernel-headers in the dependencies of BASE_TARGETS in
the case where BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE is not y. The kernel headers
are already supposed to be part of the external toolchain, so
there's no need to download, extract and install them.
* In the configuration system, don't display the kernel headers
version selection list when an external toolchain is selected. This
is implemented by moving the source
"toolchain/kernel-headers/Config.in" inside the if
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SOURCE in toolchain/Config.in.2.
* Change the description and help message of the BR2_LARGEFILE,
BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, and BR2_SOFT_FLOAT option in
toolchain/external-toolchain/Config.in. In the case of an external
toolchain, the semantic of these options is not to enable large
file support, IPV6 or RPC (since the toolchain is already compiled,
it has been decided previously). Their semantic is to let Buildroot
know about the characteristics of the external toolchain being
used.
As an improvement, we could guess these values automatically:
- for BR2_LARGEFILE, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_LFS__ in
bits/uClibc_config.h in the libc headers directory.
- for BR2_INET_RPC, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_RPC__ in the
same file
- for BR2_INET_IPV6, look at the value of __UCLIBC_HAS_IPV6__ in
the same file
- for BR2_SOFT_FLOAT, look at the output of $(CC) -v 2>&1 | grep
-- "--with-float=soft"
But I'm not sure how this would be possible, since these values are
used at configuration-time by other configuration options, not only
at build time.
