toolchain-external: fix installation of libthread_db

2012-11-30T21:57:49+00:00

Whatever the gdbserver source, as long as it's installed on the target, assume it requires libthread_db. Signed-off-by: Richard Braun Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

gdb: properly pass the PATH when building gdb for the host

2012-11-28T19:35:57+00:00

When building gdb for the host, we properly pass the PATH (through HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) during the configure step, but we forget to do so for the compilation step. The result of this is that when the Crosstool-NG backend is used, gawk is built and installed in $(HOST_DIR), as a dependency of the crosstool-ng package. Then, the host gdb configure script detects this gawk binary ($(HOST_DIR) is in the PATH), and assumes gawk is available. Unfortunately, during the compilation step, it fails to find the expected gawk binary, because $(HOST_DIR) is no longer in the PATH. This causes the following build failure: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/067d0c2ea01673ba98ec11de2426f1ab92dac800/build-end.log In order to fix this, we simply call the compilation step of gdb for the host with $(HOST_MAKE_ENV), as it should have been done from the beginning.

xtensa: fix target gdb build and 64-bit host side gdb

2012-11-21T10:14:24+00:00

Fix build breakage, use the version of the ptrace header file in asm instead of sys. Also, fix GDB running on 64 bit hosts. GDB was using unsigned long for 32-bit registers, but unsigned long is 64 bit on 64-bit hosts. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

xtensa: use uppercase for configurations and modified overlay structure

2012-11-21T10:08:50+00:00

Except for architecture and processor names, buildroot uses capitalized configuration names, so change the macro names for xtensa to follow that standard. Change the overlay file to have a subdirectory for each component (gdb, binutils, gcc, etc.) to make it more future-prove. Signed-off-by: Chris Zankel Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

Deprecate the support for the toolchain on target

2012-11-17T08:21:30+00:00

As discussed during the ELCE 2012 Buildroot Developers Meeting, we no longer want to support the possibility of building a toolchain for the target. None of the core developers have any use for this, it has been known to be broken or cause problems for a long time without anyone providing fixes for it. In addition to this, Buildroot is inherently a cross-compilation tool, so the usage of a native toolchain on the target is not really useful. Many newcomers are tempted to use this possibility even though it is clearly not the intended usage of Buildroot. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

toolchain/gdb: disable support of full gdb on target for blackfin

There is no support in gdb 6.6 for the Blackfin architecture, so disallow this choice. This fixes the following build failure: http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/e37db29810265a756833da163fda444d967d7874/build-end.log Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard
