kernel/linux: add latest versions

binutils: remove duplicate config entries for binutils & elf2flt

scripts: add sed expression to apply when renumbering patches

Some patchsets have superfluous members in their names (eg. the ones coming
from Gentoo), so it can come in handy to pass a sed RE to strip them out of
the final patch name.
Also add a 'fake' mode, where the command will only be printed and not
executed, so we can check beforehand if the rename will be OK.

scripts: fis addToolVersion wrt binutils

binutils' config file has moved; update the addToolVerion script accordingly.

kernel/linux: remove the version prompt

debug/gdb: remove old versions

config/binutils: remove obsolete experimental versions

config: rip-out versions marked as OBSOLETE

libc/uClibc: fix building on system with recent glibc

While trying to build a toolchain with ct-ng 1.5.0,
arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi target,
I get the following error:

[INFO ] Installing C library headers
[EXTRA] Copying sources to build dir
[EXTRA] Applying configuration
[EXTRA] Building headers
[EXTRA] Installing headers
[ERROR] extra/scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [extra/scripts/unifdef] Error 1
[ERROR] Build failed in step 'Installing C library headers'

The following patch solves the problem.
(It's a backport of this uClibc commit:
http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=49e81cada73616864b9b31df0aeb6961c30f5a6e
)

[--SNIP from another mail--]
AFAIK this is a problem since glibc 2.10.

1.5: update to 1.5.0+hg

Tagging release 1.5.1

1.5: update version to 1.5.1

arch/arm: add sample for nommu bare-metal Cortex-M3 with newlib

arch/arm: add THUMB interworking support

Add config option to build wtarget code with THUMB interworking.
This is used to build the C library as well as all other code
that runs on the target.

arch/arm: add THUMB mode config option

arch/arm: no need to check for the ABI option

The ABI option can not be set if EABI was selected,
so no need to check for it.

arch/arm: add support for noMMU

Some ARM cores do not have an MMU (eg. Cortex-Mx and Cortex-Rx series).
Thus, allow the user to configure out the MMU for ARM.

libc/newlib: allow using CVS snapshots

The newlib "team" rolls new releases about once a year (december).
This is quite a long time between releases, in case code was fixed.
So, allow user to use a CVS snapshot to benefit early from fixes
and enhancements to newlib.

functions: allow using sub-dir of a module

Some projects' module (eg. newlib) are checked-out into a sudirectory
rather than into their own directory. Handle this case in the CT_GetCVS
function.

libc/newlib: allow using newlib with archs other than avr32

libc/newlib: fix namespace in config file

C library config options should be prefixed with 'LIBC_'.

libc/newlib: cleanup the build and finish steps

build step:
- ./configure
- remove glibc-specific options
- pass the target CFLAGS in the correct variable
- make:
- build in //

finish step:
- print proper message in finish step

libc/newlib: fix host/target confusion

newlib handles the build/host/target a bit differently as one would expect:
build : not used
host : the nachine that builds newlib
target : the machine on which newlib will run

debug/dmalloc: fix handling of threading model

config: add help for the MMU/noMMU entry

config/libc: move around hidden config options

This yields a cleaner .config file that is easier to read.

samples: fix the avr32-unknown-none sample

Bizarely enough, binutils-2.18 fails to build when CONFIG_SHELL is set
to /bin/bash (although it has code to recognise bash and act accordingly).

Waht is really strange is that it does build when CONFIG_SHELL is set
to /bin/sh, *although* /bin/sh is a symlink to /bin/bash. WTF?!?!

configure: split has_or_abort in two: one to check, one to abort

Split the has_or_abort function in two:
- one that checks if the tool if found,
- one that calls the above check, and aborts if not found

The rational behind this is to be able to check for a tool
and if not found, fallback to using our bundled version,
should the need arise (and I get time).

Merge.

libc/glibc: don't use legacy snapshots

glibc snapshots have not been updated for about the
past 5 months. Consider them to be deprecated, now.

libc/glibc: remove dead code

The option to retrieve snapshots is already handled by
the generic 'specific date' and 'use latest' entries.
No need for a special case, as there's no code for it.

Merge.

debug/gdb: cleanup (remove) the static ncurses build

ncurses is built solely for the sake of building a native gdb.
The user should not rely on this library to build his/her userland,
but should rather build his/her own. So we remove it from the
sysroot after we successfully build the native gdb.

doc: update documentation, mostly eye-candy

sample: update the i686-nptl-linux-gnu sample

Update this sample, now it seems to correctly build again.

libc/eglibc: fix building for seemingly native toolchains

Build eglibc with -O2 as a fix/workaround to building
seemingly-native toolchains (see docs/overview.txt).

gcc: ecjx.cc -> ecjx.o should use host compiler, not cross compiler

gcc: forward port gcc-4.4.0 patchset to 4.4.1

kernel/linux: update versions.

Insert an empty line bwetween added new versions.

debug/ltrace: fix build with /exotic/ linux-host OS

For ARM EABI hosts (ct-ng's target), the tupple ends in 'gnueabi'
For uClibc-based toolchains, the tuple ends in '-uclibc.*'
Make ltrace recognise those tuples as being the same as 'linux-gnu'

Merge.

samples: correclty fix saving samples with a C library config file

samples: fix uClibc config file location

comp-libs/cloog: fix building

For CLooG/PPL 0.15.3, the directory name was simply cloog-ppl.
For any later versions, the driectory name does have the version, such as
cloog-ppl-0.15.4.

config: fix indentation for options marked EXPERIMENTAL or OBSOLETE

Change the 2-space separation into a 1-space separation, for the sake
of homogeneity.

scripts: add new version at top of choice

Add new versions at the top of the choice menu, not at the bottom.

config: re-order menu entries so that latest versions are at the top

It makes better sense to have latest versions at the top of the choice
entries.

Merge.

samples: update

comp-libs/mpc: add latest 0.7 version.

comp-libs/cloog: new versions have the version number in the dir name

For CLooG/PPL 0.15.3, the directory name was simply cloog-ppl.
For any later versions, the driectory name does have the version, such as
cloog-ppl-0.15.4.

samples: fix saving samples

libc/eglibc: fix download

Fix the test to check if download is forced.

Merge.

kernel/linux: add latest versions

Add 2.6.27.33 as long-term stable, and 2.6.30.6 and 2.6.31.

gcc: add patch to fix EABI for armv4t

As pointed out by Martin GUY, gcc incorrectly generates armv5t
instrcutions for EABI, even for cores that are an armv4t.
The new patch (for the 4.3 series) fixes the problem by downgrading
the default CPU for EABI to being an armv4t core.

kconfig: allow stdin/stdout redirection

Allow stdin/stdout redirection for the CLI conf (not mconf).
This allows to recall a sample and automatically apply the defaults
to new configuration option, with something like the following:
yes "" |ct-ng "sample_name"

docs: add a tutorial on how to build a toolchain on Mac OS-X

Add a step-bystep tutorial to build a cross-toolchain on Mac OS-X.

companion libs: add latest CLooG/PPL versions

Add the latest 0.15.{4,5,6,7} CLoog/PPL.

samples: show the PPL, GLoog/ppl and MPC versions

When displaying a sample, do show the PPL, CLoog/ppl and MPC versions

samples: fix displaying selected tools

Do display selected tools / debug facilities when displaying a sample.

samples: replace usage of echo with printf

Using printf instead of echo allows easier and better formatting.

tools wrapper: fix building

Remove the build tools only after the wrapper is built.
Use the corect C compiler to build the tools wrapper.
Use the correct log level.

crosstool.sh.in: better mesage when creating script-overrides

log functions: fix CT_DoLog and CT_DoExecLog

$@ and $* are different when in double quotes; use $* to print the message.

tools wrapper: move choice selection to a more appropriate place

Move the tools wrapper choice selection down to the companion libraries
sub-menu, to avoid the user going back and forth in the menu.

tools wrapper: fix config dependency

The tools wrapper is not needed only for canadian crosses, but also
for every other type of toolchain.

docs: typo in overview.txt

TODO: update

Add TODO list for m4, autoconf, automake and libtool.
Building our own versions would remove burden from the users
who have older versions on their distributions, and are not
ready/able/allowed to upgrade.

config.{gues,sub}: update

config: move the patch choice to the extract section

Choosing the origin of the patches to apply is best
done in the 'extract' section.

config: add fallback to patch order

Add the possibility to fallback to either bundled or local patches
if local or bundled are missing.

config: add the local,bundled patch order

This ordering first applies the local patches, then the bundeld ones.

config: make selecting the patch origin a choice rather than a bool

functions: do not over-detect error when patching

Merge.

tools wrapper: fix error due to unused argument

In the C wrapper, the argc argument is not used, causing an error
(as we treat warnings as errors). Use a dummy allocation to get
rid of the warning.

tools wrapper: correctly install the C wrapper

When building the C wrapper, specify the source file to be compiled.

config: move the "build shared libraries" option to the OS menu

The "Build shared libraries" config option is dependant on the type of
"Target OS".

Moving this options to the "Target OS" sub-menu is also better in the user
perspective: he/she no longer needs to go back and forth to see if he/she
missed any option.

config: make "Build shared libraries" depend on KERNEL_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS

Now that all kernels that support shared libraries select the correct config
option, we can change the dependency rules of SHARED_LIBS accordingly.

config: Linux kernel selectes shared libraries support

The Linux kernel supports using shared libraries, so prompt the user.

config: introduce the KERNEL_SUPPORTS_SHARED_LIBS silent config option

The target OSes will be able to select this option if they support shared
libraries, instead of having "Build shared libaries" depend on each OS.

config: swap the debug and tools sub-menus

ltrace, in the debug sub-menu, selects libelf, in the tools sub-menu.
Inverse the order of the two sub-menus, so that the user does not have
to go back and forth between the two sub-menus.

config: move down companion libraries sub-menu

Move the companion libraries sub-menu down the main menu.
That way, the user does not need to go back and forth in the menu
to change options set by the different components that select the
companion libraries (binutils, gcc, gdb).

companion-libs: PPL/CLooG/MPC require GMP and MPFR

The PPL, CLoog/ppl and MPC libraries require GMP and MPFR.
Select GMP/MPFR appropriately.

tools wrapper: introduce the silent WRAPPER_NEEDED config option

Add the WRAPPER_NEEDED silent config option, that can be selected by
components that require it (companion libs so far).
Rely on this config option when deciding to install the wrapper,
instead of checking GMP/MPFR or PPL/CLoog/MPC.

Merge the C wrapper.

config: choose whether to use the shell or the C wrapper

Offer a config choice on whether to isntall the script wrapper, or
the compiled C wrapper. Update docs/overview.txt accordingly.

tool wrapper: add initial wrapper coded in C

Add an initial wrapper:
- find the realpath of the tool being called
- add the '.' in front of the tool name
- add the '/lib' dir to the base dir of the tool
- set and export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- execve the real tool
