The existing Microblaze toolchains that we have have the annoying
property of being based on a very old glibc version: 2.3.6. Xilinx
provides newer toolchains with glibc 2.14, generated by Crosstool-NG,
but they are only available as part of a huge Git repository that
contains the gcc, Linux, binutils, glibc sources unpacked (4.4 GB
total), which makes is very unpractical.
I contacted the Xilinx person who did those toolchains, but they
apparently didn't intend to change that anytime soon.
So, we have created a tarball for those toolchains, adding a
README.txt file in the tarball that points back to the original
location that contains the source code for them. Those tarballs are
hosted on sources.buildroot.net.
This commit then adds support for those two new external toolchains,
one for little endian Microblaze, another one for big endian
Microblaze.

Remove the old 2010RC1 toolchain and add the new 2012R2-RC2 toolchain.
On related good news the new toolchain fixes:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/eac5bd4f4766d98431e72a3c81492a962c85fa98/
since it's got unshare() support now.

All supported pre-built external toolchains are built for x86 Linux,
so we add the BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS select.

The pre-build external toolchains are all built for x86, so they are
only available if the build machine is a x86 or x86-64 machine.

On ARM, Linaro external toolchains are only visible if the user
selects Cortex-A8 or Cortex-A9. Therefore, we add a comment that tells
the user that the Linaro toolchains are only available under those
conditions.

Basically, the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GLIBC option no longer
unconditionally selects BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC since there are
glibc toolchains that don't have RPC support. All the predefined
toolchain profiles are updated to take into account this change: for
the moment, all glibc toolchains that have pre-defined toolchains have
RPC support, but further patches in the series add pre-defined glibc
toolchains that don't have RPC support. In the case of custom glibc
toolchains, a question is asked to the user so that he can say whether
the external glibc toolchain has RPC support or not. The validity of
this configuration option is checked by the new
check_glibc_rpc_feature function in helpers.mk.

The BR2_INET_RPC has for a long time been a not very descriptive
configuration option name, and with the advent of non-RPC glibc
toolchains and the apparition of libtirpc, we really need to rename it
to something more sensible, BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_NATIVE_RPC.

Yann E. MORIN says:
"Although eglibc can be configured to include/exclude parts of the

All the defconfig files used by the autobuilders that use
pre-installed external toolchains are making the assumption that the
default for a custom external toolchain is "pre-installed". We keep
this default for now, since changing it breaks the autobuilders.

This patch adds the possibility to download a custom external
toolchain, in addition to the existing support of preinstalled custom
external toolchains.
With the modified configuration, the user is presented with the
following options:
- Toolchain type: Buildroot toolchain | External toolchain | Ct-ng toolchain
In case of External toolchain:
- Toolchain: the CodeSourcery toolchains | Custom toolchain
- Toolchain origin: Toolchain to be downloaded and installed | Pre-installed toolchain
In case of Toolchain to be downloaded, the user is presented with:
- Toolchain URL
In case of Pre-installed toolchain, the users sees:
- Toolchain Path
For CodeSourcery toolchains, the toolchain URL field is not used (the
URLs are directly coded in ext-tool.mk).
