toolchain/crosstool-NG: fix bundled config files

2011-08-28T07:43:21Z

Bundled config files have architecture-specific values in them, which may break if buildroot is configured with another architecture that does not forcibly set these option. For example, the bundled config files are for x86_64, and define: CT_ARCH_TUNE="generic" This comes from the BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE config option (in buildroot) that is set accordingly to the selected (arch,sub-arch). But if someone configures buildroot for, say, generic ARM, then the BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE config option is not set, and the crosstool-NG backend Makefile believes it should not be pushed down to the crosstool-NG config file. BUT... The crosstool-NG backend Makefile can not forcibly push BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE down to the CT-NG config file. If BR2_GCC_TARGET_TUNE is empty, the user can still set CT_ARCH_TUNE by running ctng-menuconfig. The backend Makefile already passes such values only if they are set. In the end, we can't push options as-is to the crosstool-NG config, but we MUST provide sane bundled config files, which this patch does. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

ncurses: fix hanging installation due to old version of tic

2011-08-26T13:01:41Z

Closes #3685 During installation of ncurses, the 'tic' program from the host is used. In some cases, this version of tic is too old for the data to be processed, and the installation hangs indefinitely (already reported in July 2010, see [1]) With this patch, a static version of tic is built and used during the installation step of target ncurses. This method is based on a similar fix in Gentoo Linux (see [2] for the report and [3] for the solution).

grub: fix patch handling after AUTOTARGETS conversion

2011-08-26T05:16:23Z

Closes #4093 AUTOTARGETS doesn't handle compressed patches, so the '400' patch did not get applied. Fix it by extracting the patch. With this, the '500' patch is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
