make-3.82 now refuses to have both normal and implicit rules in the
same definition, so document the issue with a known workaround.

With Xcode 4.1 'gcc' is symlinked llvm-gcc-4.2 which cannot bootstrap
other gccs.
See http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9571
On my machine the faulty gcc is
gcc version 4.2.1 (Based on Apple Inc. build 5658) (LLVM build 2335.15.00)
Document a workaround.

ct-ng has moved, update documentation

As time passes, a known issues can be no longer applicable (because
the component has been fixed, or a workaround ahs been added in the
crosstool-NG scripts/config...).
Some may also be unconfirmed, with no way to easily trigger the error,
or applies to old versions of components...
Add a status for every known issues.

The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are
two C library steps, there are those companion libraries...
People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed.
Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html
This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations
on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html
into proper documentation in crosstool-NG.
Thanks go to Francesco for suggesting this. He has a fine tutorial
for beginners there:

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.

Hints for building tool chains.

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.

The usage of hg mq is imho not very well documented.

for contributions to ct-ng.

The wrapper is no longer needed when building
non-shared companion libraries. Document that.
|
|
When using an environment variable to set a config entry,
don'twarn if it is not defined. Update doc accordingly.
|
|
When acting as a backend for a build-system, we should not build
any application that runs on the target, that is:
- no native gdb
- no companion libraries
- no binutils libraries
- no debug tools (save for gdbserver)
- ...
Here, we simply prepare the (hidden) config option that will detect
that we are acting as a back-end.
Update doc accordingly.

That got removed quite some time ago, but is really usefull to get the
configuration from a build.log file of a failing build.
|
|
Since we merged the 32/64-bit archs, and we explicitly used
the Linux kernel arch name, we can get rid of CT_KERNEL_ARCH.
