Tagging release 1.7.2

1.7: update version to 1.7.2

scripts: remove . from $PATH

Add CT_SanitizePath function which removes entries referring to ., /tmp
and non-existing directories from $PATH, and call it early in the
build script.

If . is in PATH, gcc-4.4.4 build breaks:

[ALL ] checking what assembler to use...
/tmp/build/targets/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/build/gcc-core-static/arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/as
...
[ALL ] config.status: creating as

i.e. "as" is supposed to be the arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi cross assembler,
but config.status creates a local "as" script which is calling the
host assembler.

complibs: fix using static companion libraries

When building a cross-compiler for a target which uses a file extension for
binaries the symbolic link to cc is not created correctly because the lookup
of the gcc binary is done in a incorrect path

cc/gcc: add option to compile against static libstdc++, for gcc-4.4 and newer

Idea and know-how taken from CodeSourcery build script.

Normal build:
$ ldd arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb77f3000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb76e8000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb75a1000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libm.so.6 (0xb757a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb77f4000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb755c000)

CC_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX=y:
$ ldd arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi-gcc
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7843000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 (0xb76e6000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7844000)

I made CC_STATIC_LIBSTDCXX default=y since I think
it is always desirable.

cc/gcc: add option to enable/disable libmudflap

For some scenarii, libmudflap is not very usefull
or can break the build. Make in an optioon that
defaults to 'N' to be on the safe side.

For the core gcc-s, there is absolutely no need
to build libmidflap.

Idea from: Bernhard Pfund <bernhard@chapter7.ch>

cc/gcc: make sjlj config option a tristate

A tristate fits better here than a choice.

cc/gcc: move options around

config: allow unconditional usage of tristates

libc-uclibc: move options

libc/uClibc: fix space damage

libc/uClibc: fix using pre-generated locale data

Some time, someone updated the locale Makefile to use
newer pre-generated locales data, but did not upload
those.

So we just force using the existing, ageing archive,
dating back 20030818. Sigh...

libc/uClibc: do not systematically use pre-generated locale data

It seems that using pre-generated locale data can be more problematic
than usefull in some circumstances.

Offer a config knob to enable/disable use of the pregen locale data.
Also, do not extract pregen locales data ourselves, it's broken.

configure: fix --mandir

--mandir points to the base dir of the man pages, so
we have to append our man section below given dir.

scripts: add a cross-ldd-like

Add a cross-ldd that mimicks a native ldd.

libc/uClibc: do not install cross-ldd

I was unable to make the cross-ldd from uClibc to work, and
it is not possible to build it on non-POSIX system.

Besides, we have a generic script that is in the starting-blocks
to replace it, that will work for any C library, and also will
work on non-POSIX systems. Bonus!

docs/known-issues: document the "error compiling FC test program" issue

libc/uClibc: fix verbosity level for uClibc >= 0.9.30

uClibc >= 0.9.30 supports three verbosity levels, according to "make help":

V="" - Quiet build (default)
V=1 - Brief build (show defines, ld flags)
V=2 - Very verbose build

I think older versions of uClibc treat V=2 the same as V=1.
For current uClibc, only V=2 shows the full command lines.

scripts/functions: recognise Cygwin build hosts

scripts: use 'hg archive' to create release tarballs

kernel/mingw32: mark as being EXPERIMENTAL

configure: fix --mandir

--mandir points to the base dir of the man pages, so
we have to append our man section below given dir.

scripts: update config.{guess,sub}

Merge.

complibs/ppl: backout #9f0de857cb05

The patch breaks the build on most machines,
while the purpose of the patch is dubious.
So, simply back it out.

debug/gdb: properly remove build tic

tic is isntalled in buildtools, not in the toolchain's bin dir.
Plus, it may have an extension...

debug/gdb: Fix compilation for Mingw hosts

GDB requires PDcurses instead of ncurses while running on Windows.
So, do not always compile ncurses in case GDB needs to build.

PDcurses is provided by an earlier build step and is not described in
this file.
