libc/newlib: add a config option allowing to disable builtin syscalls

Allows to choose if one wants to keep or not the syscalls that are provided with
newlib. It passes the --disable-newlib-supplied-syscalls or
--enable-newlib-supplied-syscalls to the configure script. If one chooses to
disable the builtin syscalls, he/she will have to write his/her own. This can
be usefull to port newlib to a new platform/board.

configure: check for lzma

Some packages are available as LZMA tarballs. LZMA is a relatively recent
compression algorithm; it's slightly better than bzip2, but offers much
faster decompression. LZMA is now deprecated in favor of XZ, but some
packages switched to LZMA when XZ was not yet available, or still in its
infancy. Latest XZ (which totaly obsoletes LZMA) offers a backward LZMA-
compatible utility, so we can check for 'lzma' nonetheless.

So, build up a list of allowed tarball formats based on the available

kernel/linux: simplify custom tarball handling

Simplify the way the custom tarball is handled:
- fake version="custom"
- at download, simply link the custom tarball to:
"linux-custom.${custom_extension}"
- at extract, the above allows to simply extract "linux-${LINUX_VERSION}"
where LINUX_VERISON is set to the fake version="custom"

Not that much convoluted, in fact... :-/

kernel/linux: deprecate copying headers from pre-instaleld headers

No-one ever inquired about this feature. Due to the way it works, it is
rather unlikely that every user used a properly-formatted tarball, or a
properly structured directory as imput.

Beside, it is not really easy to maintain: I just spent one full day
remembering how it worked... Sigh... :-(

Just deprecate this, until next release, or until someone complains.

samples: do not use the mirror by default

As the mirror is always tried first, and the default is my server,
it means every download will first hit my server. As I do not have
much mirrored there, it means a lot of time is lost.

Disable use of the mirror for all samples, except the one that does
need it for the uClibc snapshot.

Although ctor/dtor do not seem strictly required, missing them proves

scripts/functions: remove messages about failed downloads

When downloading via svn/cvs/... an attempt to retrieve from the
mirror is made. If the mirror does not have the required tarball,
an error message is printed. This is misleading, as the download
may later succeed via svn/cvs/...

Remove the messages about failed downloads altogether.

At the same time, use "if ... then ... fi" instead of "... && ..."

scripts/functions: always prefer the mirror

Currently, the mirror can be used either:
- as a fallback in case upstream is unavailable (default behavior)
- as the preferred source for downloads

But the most common use-case seems to provide a truely-LAN mirror
to speed up downloads in big corpos', and/or provide a 'trusted'
source for the tarballs.

So, make the following changes;
- if a mirror is specified, always try that before trying upstream

2011-08-02scripts/functions: cvs retrieval first tries the mirror for tarballs

scripts/functions: cvs retrieval first tries the mirror for tarballs

The cvs download helper looks for the local tarballs dir to see if it
can find a pre-downloaded tarball, and if it does not find it, does
the actual fetch to upstream via cvs.

In the process, it does not even try to get a tarball from the local
mirror, which can be useful if the mirror has been pre-populated
manually (or with a previously downloaded tree).

Fake a tarball get with the standard tarball-download helper, but
without specifying any upstream URL, which makes the helper directly
try the LAN mirror.

Of course, if no mirror is specified, no URL wil be available, and
the standard cvs retrieval will kick in.

configure: do not require svn

svn is needed to download eglibc from the upstream repository.
In some situations, though, it can happen that:
- the developpers' machines do not have svn
- a LAN mirror has been set-up with pre-downloaded eglibc tarballs
In this case, it makes sense not to hard-depend on svn.

So, if svn is missing, just say so, and add a comment in the
menuconfig.
