This variable contains extra environment variables that we can not export
since they are clashing with some build systems (eg. BUILD_DIR with
u-boot).
So, we may need these variables for uses other than the user's hooks
for instrumentation. For example, we'll use them later on to export
BUILD_DIR to the download helper scripts.
Fix comment, too.

This commit refactors how Stack Smashing Protection support is handled
in Buildroot:
*) It turns the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP option into an option
that only enables the SSP support in uClibc, when using the internal
toolchain backend.
*) It adds an hidden BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SSP option that gets enabled
when the toolchain has SSP support. Here we have the usual dance:
glibc/eglibc in internal/external backend always select this
option, in the case of uClibc/internal, it gets selected when
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_USE_SSP is enabled, in the case of
uClibc/external, there is a new configuration option that the user
must select (or not) depending on whether the toolchain has SSP
support.
*) It adds a new options BR2_ENABLE_SSP in the "Build options" menu,
to enable the usage of SSP support, by adding
-fstack-protector-all to the CFLAGS.

The current code to set ABI on ARM does the following:
ifeq ($(BR2_arm)$(BR2_armeb),y)
... set ABI without 'hf' suffix ...
else ifeq ($(BR2_ARM_EABIHF),y)
... set ABI with 'hf' suffix ...
endif
But since $(BR2_arm)$(BR2_armeb) will always be 'y' in the cases where
BR2_ARM_EABIHF is 'y', it means that the 'else' part of the condition
will never be used.
Fix this by appending 'hf' to the ABI variable when BR2_ARM_EABIHF is

This commit introduces the support for the EABIhf ABI, next to the
existing support we have for EABI and OABI (even though OABI support
is deprecated). EABIhf allows to improve performance of floating point
workload by using floating point registers to transfer floating point
arguments when calling functions, instead of using integer registers
to do, as is done in the 'softfp' floating point model of EABI.
In addition to this, this commit introduces a list of options for the
floating point support:
* Software floating point
* VFP
* VFPv3
* VFPv3-D16
* VFPv4
* VFPv4-D16
and it introduces some logic to make sure the options are only visible
when it makes sense, depending on the ARM core being selected. This is
however made complicated by the fact that certain VFP capabilities are
mandatory on some cores, but optional on some other cores. The kconfig
logic tries to achieve the following goals:
* Hide options that are definitely not possible.
* Use safe default values (i.e for Cortex-A5 and A7, the presence of
the VFPv4 unit is optional, so we default on software floating
point on these cores)..
* Show the available possibilities, even if some of them are not
necessarily working on a particular core (again, for the Cortex-A5
and A7 cores, there is no way of knowing whether the particular
variant used by the user has VFPv4 or not, so we select software
floating point by default, but still show VFP/VFPv3/VFPv4 options).
It is worth noting that this commit doesn't add support for all
possible -mfpu= values on ARM. We haven't added support for fpa, fpe2,
fpe3, maverick (those four are only used on very old ARM cores), for
vfpv3-fp16, vfpv3-d16-fp16, vfpv3xd, vfpv3xd-fp16, neon-fp16,
vfpv4-sp-d16. They can be added quite easily if needed thanks to the
new organization of the Config.in options.

Currently, when we need to do a conditional on the type of C library
used, we need to take into account the three toolchain backends. As we
are going to add eglibc support to the Buildroot toolchain backend, it
would become even uglier, so this patch introduces two new hidden
options: BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC, that
exist regardless of the toolchain backend. The entire Buildroot code
base is converted to use those options.
Note that we have intentionally created only one option
(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC) for both glibc and eglibc, since they are
essentially the same, as far as Buildroot is concerned.

The current code spawns as many jobs as up to twice the number of CPUs.
On small-class machines like laptops, with a limitted amount of memory,
but still a few CPUs (real or hyperthreads), the HDD becomes a bottleneck,
and it becomes almost impossible to do anythiong else while there is a
build in progress.
Limit the number of jobs to the number of CPUs plus one.
Even on fast machines with fast HDDs, this settings keeps the machine
fully busy (for those packages that can build in parallel, of course).
For example, building qemu or the linux kernel kept my hyperthreaded
hexa Core i7 with 18GiB of RAM, busy at 99% (I never ever managed to
get 100% even with more jobs, not even 200); while on my hyperthreaded
dual Core i5 with only 4GiB and a slow HDD, I still topped at 100% CPU,
while still able to do some work involving the HDD.
If the number of processors is not available, assume one.

The external toolchain wrapper sets sysroot etc. to an absolute path.
By changing this to a relative path, it is possible to move the host
directory to a different location and still have a working build
system.
This only works for a downloaded external toolchain. For a pre-installed
external toolchain, it is possible to move the host directory to a
different location, but not the external toolchain directory (it does work
if the external toolchain directory lies within the host directory). For
an internal or crosstool-ng toolchain, there is no wrapper so updating the
sysroot path should be done in a different way.

Many configure scripts support an option like --disable-doc, --disable-docs
or --disable-documentation. Pass all of these to configure.
In addition, not all Xorg packages accept the --disable-xxx. Instead they
look for xmlto and/or fop and build documentation if they exist. For host
packages, this may lead to build errors because /usr/bin/xmlto uses libxml2
and we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to $(HOST_DIR)/lib, which may contain
a libxml2 as well. So it's essential to disable xmlto for host packages.

When compiling for the same architecture and libc as the host,
GNU_TARGET_NAME and GNU_HOST_NAME are equal. configure scripts use

Practically speaking, MIPS has three useful ABIs:
* o32 is for 32-bits CPUs, or 64-bit CPUs running only a 32-bit subset
of the instruction set.
* n32 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 32-bits pointers and long
integers.
* n64 is for 64-bits CPUs only. It has 64-bits pointers and long
integers.
See http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/MIPS_ABI_History and
http://www.linux-mips.org/wiki/WhatsWrongWithO32N32N64 for more
details.
So, this commit reworks the Buildroot MIPS support by:
* Add separate mips64/mips64el top-level architectures.
* Renaming the n32 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI32, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Renaming the n64 ABI option to BR2_MIPS_NABI64, for consistency
with BR2_MIPS_OABI32.
* Make the n32 and n64 ABI selections select the BR2_ARCH_IS_64,
since those ABIs are valid on 64-bits CPUs only.
* Removing the o64 ABI, which is practicaly never used.
* Removing the "none" ABI, which really doesn't make sense.
* Introduce the mips64 and mips64el architecture names when a 64-bits
MIPS ABI is choosen. This will fix build issue like
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9b8c5ea86c953a89e85e7b67e9221de41773f652/build-end.log
where gmp was confused by the fact of having a 32 bits architecture
(detected by the mips- architecture part of the tuple) but 64 bits
integer size when compiling.
* Adjust the uclibc.mk logic to support the new mips64/mips64el
architecture names, and take into account the renaming of the ABI
options.
This has been build tested by generating Buildroot toolchains and
compiling a few packages for MIPS o32, MIPS n32 and MIPS n64.
This work is originally based on prior work done by Gustavo Zacarias.

The -fPIC breaks the purgatory of kexec (= the code that passes command-line
arguments to the kernel): kexec doesn't know how to handle the GOT and PLT
relocation entries.
There is also no reason at all to pass -fPIC. Shared libraries that require
it will add it to their local Makefiles, and normal executables have no
business with -fPIC (plus it adds overhead...).
The -fPIC was added by Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <rep.dot.nop@gmail.com>
in commit 8027784c. That commit adds sysroot parameters to CFLAGS.
There is no explanation why -fPIC is also added for x86_64.
