toolchain: disable C++ support on AVR32 gcc 4.2 with uClibc

2013-07-08T21:10:29+00:00

In 25c3160092d7 ("uClibc 0.9.31: remove stray kludges/conditions"), a conditional that prevents the combination gcc 4.2-avr / C++ / locale with uClibc 0.9.31 was removed. However, it turns out that the same problem is affecting uClibc 0.9.33, described at http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/24260. Therefore, we prevent the combination of gcc 4.2-avr / C++ / locale to happen. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

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.

uclibc: move configuration options into the package

2013-07-04T08:33:56+00:00

In preparation for the introduction of the eglibc library to the internal toolchain backend, the options that allow to enable/disable C library features such as largefile, IPv6, RPC and so on now belong to the uClibc package. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: convert to the package infrastructure

2013-04-11T19:46:32+00:00

This commit converts gdb to the package infrastructure, and therefore moves it from toolchain/gdb to package/gdb. The target package is now visible in "Package selection for the target" => "Debugging, profiling and benchmark". The main option, "gdb", forcefully selects the "gdbserver" sub-option by default. Another sub-option, "full debugger" allows to install the complete gdb on the target. When this option is enabled, then "gdbserver" is no longer forcefully selected. This ensures that at least gdbserver or the full debugger gets built/installed, so that the package is not a no-op. The host debugger is still enabled through a configuration option in "Toolchain". It is now visible regardless of the toolchain type (it used to be hidden for External Toolchains). The configuration options relative to the host debugger are now in package/gdb/Config.in.host, similar to how we have package/binutils/Config.in.host. Since gdb is now a proper package, it is no longer allowed to 'select BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' to ensure thread debugging is available when needed. Instead, it now 'depends on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG'. This option, in turn, is selected by the different toolchain backends when appropriate. The 'BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG_IF_NEEDED' option is removed, since we no longer need to know when it is allowed to 'select BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG'. Also, the 'BR2_PTHREADS_DEBUG' option is moved to appear right below the thread implementation selection (in the case of the Buildroot toolchain backend).
