2010-03-26scripts/populate: fix handling the forced libraries list-file

scripts/populate: fix handling the forced libraries list-file

If a list-file is used, then each library in the file will be handled
twice (not a real issue, as the second iteration will find the library
already present, just avoid doing the job twice).

2010-03-25scripts/populate: properly locate the sysroot and required tools
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Thu, 25 Mar 2010 22:42:00 +0100] rev 1861
scripts/populate: properly locate the sysroot and required tools

This fixes two problems:
- the sysroot might be in a sub-directory (think SYSROOT_DIR_PREFIX)
- it is not needed to have the target tuple to properly detect the sysroot
and the required tools

As a side effect, this script is now no longer dependent on the target
tuple, and in the future, we might be able to share it across many
toolchains (when/if we can install all of them in the same place).

scripts/populate: add -m option, to merge source and dest

Merge the source rootfs into the (pre-existing) destination rootfs,
and populate the result accordingly.

2010-03-23scripts/populate: add option to use an alternate sysroot
Nate Case <ncase@xes-inc.com> [Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:27:41 +0100] rev 1859
scripts/populate: add option to use an alternate sysroot

Add a new command line option, "-r", which allows the user to specify
an alternate sysroot location to copy libraries from. This is useful
when using the toolchain in combination with a separate root filesystem,
or when working with multiple different root filesystems.

binutils/sstrip: get rid of ELFkickers

ELFkickers are looong dead and unmaintained, and the sstrip
from buildroot is working fine *and* is maintained.

binutils/sstrip: depends on ELF

No point building sstrip is the target is not ELF.

2010-03-17tools: move sstrip to the binary utilities menu

tools: move sstrip to the binary utilities menu

sstrip is now alone in its 'tools' menu, and we will probably never gain
any other 'tool'. Besides, sstrip is just strip, but a little bit more
agressive, so it deserves going to the 'binary utilities' menu.
