Minimize the board defconfig, remove custom busybox configuration,
custom kernel configuration (use the kernel defconfig instead), custom
device table and target skeleton. The only difference in the target
skeleton was the support of mdev and the usage of an automount
script. Instead of adding this in a board-specific way, we should
provide board-independent configuration options. There are already
patches contributed to add support for mdev.

Minimize atngw100_defconfig, remove atngw100-base_defconfig, and
remove the target skeleton and device table. Instead of having
complete copies of new target skeletons (making them hard to
maintain), we should just have a post-build script that
adds/removes/tweaks the existing target skeleton.
Moreover, most of the tweaks in this target skeleton were for specific
packages, but the policy now is that board defconfig should just build
a basic root filesystem with Busybox, and let the user select
whichever set of packages (s)he wants.

Those are not associated with any specific hardware system (PC or
another i386 system). Moreover, the fact that those configurations
require the build of a JFFS2 filesystem, very uncommon on PC systems,
seems to indicate that those configurations are not really being used
today.
It would make more sense to have a qemu_i388_defconfig (building a
kernel with just the device drivers for Qemu) and possibly a
pc_i386_defconfig (building a kernel with many device drivers, and a
bootloader such as Grub or Grub 2).
We also remove the corresponding kernel configuration files.

We don't need Config.in and Makefile in target/device: defconfig files
are sufficient to describe the specificities of a board (architecture,
compilation flags, bootloader and kernel details, etc.).
However, a placeholder such as target/device will be kept in order to
host things such as kernel configuration files or various
board-specific patches.

The CRIS architecture support in Buildroot hasn't been updated since a
long time. Even a toolchain with recent kernel headers does not build
due to missing patches.
Moreover, the CRIS architecture has been discontinued by Axis, as
visible at http://www.axis.com/products/dev/index.htm. We will remove
it from Buildroot at the next release cycle.

Supporting multilib is much more than just passing --enable-multilib
to gcc. You have to actually build the C library several times (once
for each multilib variant you want to support in your toolchain), and
to pass MULTILIB_OPTIONS/MULTILIB_EXCEPTIONS values to gcc to let it
know the set of multilib variants you're interested in.
Since we'll probably never support multilib toolchains in Buildroot,
just get rid of this BR2_ENABLE_MULTILIB option.

Those architectures don't exist anymore (Alpha, IA64) or aren't widely
used for embedded systems running Linux. Moreover, no clear Buildroot
maintainer has stepped in to maintain these architectures, so it's
better to not pretend that we support them.
The goal is to mark them as deprecated in 2010.08 and remove them in
2010.11.

This commit solves bug #1051. The problem in this bug in that WebKit
compiles a sample C program, which uses WebKit. As WebKit is written
in C++, even though the program it built with CROSS-gcc, it must be
linked with libstdc++. However, CROSS-gcc can't find the libstdc++ has
it's hidden inside <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib.
Therefore, this commit creates a symbolic link <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib
-> <sysroot>/lib before running the CROSS-gcc installation. While this
may look like a hack, this is the solution used by both Crosstool-NG
and OpenWRT.
Moreover, with this symbolic link in place, I think bug #1741 may also
be solved. The problem in this bug is that the linker tries to link
against /lib/libc.so.0. This is due to the fact that the linker finds
a libc.so script file in the original toolchain location and not
inside the copy of the toolchain sysroot in $(STAGING_DIR). As the
script file is found outside of the current toolchain sysroot, ld
considers the script has non-sysrooted, and therefore doesn't prefix
all paths found in the script file (such as /lib/libc.so.0) with the
sysroot path, leading to the failure.
So, in details, this commit :
* Adds a BR2_ARCH_IS_64 invisible config knob that is used to know if
the arch is a 64 bits architecture or not.
* Creates the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib -> <sysroot>/lib symbolic link,
and the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib64 -> <sysroot>/lib64 symbolic link if
needed.
* Fixes the external toolchain sysroot detection code so that the
'sed' replacement is done *after* the readlink -f evaluation.
I have tested this by building ARM, x86 and x86_64 toolchains with
Buildroot, and then use these toolchains as external toolchains to
build a full X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack. I have also done a
complete ARM Buildroot internal toolchain build with the same full
X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack.

The buildroot/busybox/uClibc VM is running low on disk space, and we've
been asked to move the source mirrors off-site.
A redirect has been setup between the old buildroot.net/downloads/sources/

as well use the official one now.
