test-suite: Added new test suite feature (experimental)

This patch adds support for installing the gcc test suite. A helper
Makefile is provided for building and running the gcc tests.

The default configuration runs all gcc tests and requires automatic
ssh/scp login access to a networked target board. See README for
more details.

Note: Current feature is tested with the powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
sample but it should work with others as well.

scripts/wrapper.c: Under MacOS set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Depending on (predefined) macro __APPLE__, use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
instead of LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

docs/overview.txt: Provide short mercurial HOWTO

The usage of hg mq is imho not very well documented.
Give a short intro for the most important use cases
for contributions to ct-ng.

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
Slightly rewrote the explanations for the introductory message.

ct-ng: Add ability to configure and use some GNU tools

Make the paths to libtool, objcopy, objdump, readelf, patch configurable.

scripts/build/internals.sh: Always use binary wrapper under BSD/MacOS

The shell wrapper script uses a nonportable call to readlink.
Thus, always use the binary wrapper under BSD/MacOS.

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
Use 'case' instead of 'if'.

scripts/wrapper.in: Add a comment about readlink not being portable.

Documented that the call to readlink will not work on BSD systems.

configure: make call to readlink portable to non-GNU (BSD) systems

The argument '-e' for readlink is a GNU extension.
In setting the variable 'where' the argument '-e' is not necessary, thus eliminated.

scripts/crosstool-NG.sh.in: On MacOS/BSD use the output of CT_DoConfigGuess for CT_BUILD.

On 64bit MacOS `gcc -dumpmachine` gives i686 for the host machine.
This conflicts with the expectations of some following configure scripts
that a 64bit x86 is given as x86_64; i686 is understood as a 32 bit machine.
config.guess sets the host machine in CT_BUILD correctly.

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
As suggested by Khem RAJ on the ML, always use config.guess.

configure: Do not require stat to be of GNU coreutils

calls to stat have been made portable, thus it is not necessary
that the GNU version is present on the user's system.

scripts/functions: Use stat correctly on non-GNU (BSD/Darwin) systems.

Call to get the directory mode depending on $CT_SYS_OS

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
CT_SYS_OS has changed on Linuxsystem, it only gets the kernel name "Linux",
and not the system name, 'GNU/'.

build/internals.sh: Replace nonportable call to stat

The call to stat to find out if a file is a symlink works only on GNU systems,
and the replacing portable call to readlink is also shorter and more concise code.

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr:
Apply simpler test, after discussion with author and Arnaud LACOMBE on the ML.

crosstool-NG.sh: suppress failure message from uname -o

On non-GNU systems (BSD/MacOS) there is no uname -o.
Suppress the failure message on these systems in the
call to set CT_SYS_OS (uname -s actually sets this variable).

yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr: remove 'uname -o' altogether.

cc/gcc: add latest version

Add 4.4.4 and forward-port patchset from 4.4.3

kernel/linux: update versions list

Merge.

Revert changeset e7f7220b5ba2

Arnaud LACOMBE rightly pointed out that this was done on the wrong branch.

scripts/mk-release: pretty-up the per-author stats

Reverse sort first by number of changesets, then sort alphabetically
on the author's names.

docs: update the known issues

samples: update

debug/gdb: install tic in the buildtools directory

'tic' is a build tool, its place is in the buildtools
directory, not in the toolchain's bin directory.

debug/gdb: be less verbose during the ncurses build

scripts: don't set LD_PRELOAD with static companion libraries

When cpmpanion libraries are built statically, it is useless to set
LD_PRELOAD. Worse, it might break the build in some corner cases.

docs: update the section about the wrapper

The wrapper is no longer needed when building
non-shared companion libraries. Document that.

arch/sh: fix type in variant handling

scripts/savesample: be silent when checking for .config file

1.6: update version to 1.6.2+hg

Tagging release 1.6.2

libc/newlib: don't do // downloads

The newlib FTP site does not like // downloads, and quickly
blocks the IP from the downloader.

Override the number of chunks when downloading newlib.

libc/glibc: fix kernel version check

Since we log the test strings, it is no longer possible to call
the CT_Test* functions from sub-functions that print results to
their stdout.

scripts: also prepare include symlink to sysroot/include

scripts: check g++ only for host

g++ is only needed when building additonal libs on the HOST,
so check wheter g++ is available for the HOST compiler only

cc/gcc: use proper host compiler for canadian bare-metal

While compiling a canadian toolchain for host=mingw32, build=linux,
target=m68k-elf the build fails because in this step of the gcc build
the Host compiler is used in this stage with the build-flags for the
build system. This results in an error where the header <sys/wait.h>
cannot be found.
This problem happens at least in the GCC-4.3.x and GCC-4.4.x range.

This is solved by passing the proper compilers on the Make cmd-line

cc/gcc: add 4.5.0

cc/gcc: add support for 4.5.0 or later versions

starting with 4.5.0, gcc requires libelf.

complibs/libelf: remove old versions

Those old versions are not suitable for use by gcc.

complibs/libelf: enable the host build

Host libelf is required by gcc-4.5.0

complibs/libelf: build target libelf in its own directory

debug/gdb: remove insight

Insight seems to be very slow to follow up on mainstreram gdb.
Latest snapshots are more than 6 months old.

Moreover, I don't have time to maintain insight support in crosstool-NG;
and, because I don't use it, I am unable to find any breakage.

debug/gdb: reorder options in the menuconfig

debug/gdb: allow static build with complibs

It is now possible to built static versions of the companion libraries,
so we can now build a static cross-gdb using the complibs.

scripts: don't print the build system guess warning

complibs/gmp: mark 5.0.1 as being experimental

MPFR can't cope with GMP > 4.x.y so hide it behind EXPERIMENTAL
until we fix MPFR

samples: add Blackfin sample

Add basic support for the Blackfin architecture

For uClibc, the name of the Blackfin architecture is 'bfin'. Actually,
the naming of the architecture is quite messy: for toolchain tuples
and uClibc, it's bfin, but for the kernel, it's blackfin. We've
arbitraly choosen to name it "blackfin" in Crosstool-NG.

Add Blackfin-related uClibc patch to fix a build failure related to
fork() being used in unistd/daemon.c.

Yann E. MORIN:
Apply the patch to the kernel/linux build script to use 'linux'
in the noMMU tuples. See:
http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-04/msg00010.html

scripts/functions: log the test strings

scripts/functions: compress with gzip level 3, as stated in the documentation

Thanks to Bruno Tarquini <btarquini@gmail.com> for the report.

scripts/functions: add a save/restore handler

Saving and restoring the steps requires saving/restoring multiple
directories. Depending on the configuration, some may not exist.

Add a wrapper that checks before creating/extracting the tarballs.

scripts/functions: fix CT_Patch again
