Synopsys has recently announced its new ARC HS38 core that is capable of
running Linux -
http://www.synopsys.com/dw/ipdir.php?ds=arc-hs38-processor
ARC HS38 is based on ARCv2 ISA and requires special settings of gcc and
libc.
Also in case of HS38 atomic extensions (LLOCK/SCOND instructions) are
built-in by default, so enabling atomic extensions in Buildroot as well.
This commit adds support of the core in buildroot.

As with other architectures for ARC we need to have an ability to set
specific options in uClibc.
In particular this is required for selection of ARC ISA version.

Now when new shiny tools are released by Synopsys we're ready for version
update in Buildroot.
Important change in this release is switching to combined "binutils-gdb" repo
in accordance to upstream move.
Following patch now is a part of the most recent relese:

So dropping it.

Since arc-2014.08 tools are still based on GCC 4.8 following patch is still
relevant so moving to the new folder to matxh ARC gcc bump.

So far, the legal-info infrastructure was not exporting the legal
info for the C libraries. This is because the legal-info only acts
on packages defined in $(TARGETS).
But the C libraries are never added to $(TARGETS), since there is no
corresponding BR2_PACKAGE_<C-LIBRARY>.
This patch adds such symbols for the 4 C libraries we support in our
internal backend: uClibc, glibc, eglibc and musl.

This commit bumps make to version 4.0. This version now uses fork(),
so it is no longer available on non-MMU platforms, which consequently
works around:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/2e1/2e1b11ccb501f1ab431c04435be52a6538d035cb/

4.0 builds fine with both an ARM uClibc toolchain and an ARM glibc
toolchain.

The toolchain currently doesn't build for nommu ARM and is in need of
serious work.
Problem is there are no emulation targets and real ARM(7TDMI/720T/740T)
hardware that's capable of running linux (enough memory, having a
memory controller...) is VERY rare and uses very old versions to
make it usable.
The ARM nommu focus should go into Cortex M series processors that are
obtainable at reasonable cost on modern hardware that has external
memory controllers.

As our architecture support expands to a number of architectures that
do not implement NPTL threading, and the number of packages that
depend on NPTL specific features, it has become necessary to be able
to know whether the toolchain has NPTL support or not.
This commit adds a new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NPTL hidden Config.in
option that allows packages to know whether NPTL is available or not.
This hidden option is:
* Automatically enabled when glibc/eglibc or musl toolchains are
used, either internal or external.
* Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL
support is configured. It is left disabled otherwise for internal
uClibc toolchains.
* Configured according to a visible Config.in option for custom
external uClibc toolchains.

Currently, the Xtensa architecture uses the "snapshot" version of
uClibc. This means that the build is not reproducible, since it will
pick whatever latest version of uClibc is available at the moment of
the build.
This commit replaces that by adding a special Xtensa version, which
points to a well-known Git commit. This is something we should
hopefully be able to remove once the uClibc people realize that doing
a 0.9.34 release would be useful.
Should probably fix:

While the idea of skipping the intermediate gcc step seems to work
fine in most situations, it causes problems with the SSP

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.

When NPTL support was introduced, gcc required a three stages build
process. Since gcc 4.7, this is no longer necessary, and it is
possible to get back to a two stages build process. This patch takes
advantage of this, by doing a two stages build process when possible.
We introduce a few hidden kconfig options:
* BR2_GCC_VERSION_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which is set by the gcc
Config.in logic to indicate that the compiler might need a three
stages build. Currently, all versions prior to 4.7.x are selecting
this kconfig option.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_LIBC_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD, which indicates whether
the C library might need a three stages build. This is the case for
eglibc, and uClibc when NPTL is enabled.
* BR2_TOOLCHAIN_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD finally is enabled when both
of the previous options are enabled. It indicates that a three
stages build is actually needed.
In addition to those options, the uClibc/gcc build logic is changed to
use only a two stages build process when possible.

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.
