eglibc: enable support in the Buildroot toolchain backend

2013-07-04T09:08:27+00:00

Using the newly introduced 'eglibc' package, this commit enables the option of building a toolchain using the eglibc C library in the Buildroot toolchain backend. In details, this commit: * Creates a choice to select uClibc or eglibc in the Buildroot toolchain backend (in toolchain/toolchain-buildroot/Config.in), and removes the fact that the Buildroot toolchain backend forcefully enables uClibc (toolchain/Config.in). * Creates a BUILDROOT_LIBC variables, which points to the package implementing the C library (i.e either 'uclibc' or 'eglibc'). * Modifies the gcc-final and gcc-intermediate makefiles to use the BUILDROOT_LIBC variable instead of hardcoding the use of uclibc. * Ensures that TLS support is always enabled when building eglibc.

gcc-initial, gcc-intermediate, gcc-final: optimize extraction

2013-07-03T21:37:23+00:00

Several sub-directories of the gcc code base are in fact not needed for the Buildroot build: libjava/, libgo/ and gcc/testsuite/ being the biggest ones. Avoiding their extraction saves quite a bit of disk space, and compensates a bit the fact that we now extract three times the gcc source code. This requires changing the 100-uclibc-conf.patch to no longer patch files from the libjava/ directory, since this directory is no longer extracted.
