[Buildroot] BASE_TARGETS aren't build

[Buildroot] BASE_TARGETS aren't build

[Benjamin Tietz]

Hi,

some days ago the building of the toolchain and the crosscompiler was
moved from TARGETS to BASE_TARGETS, and the second made dependent of the
first. It looked nice, but at least for me, it doesn't work.

Getting a virgin buildroot building all the packages (and the toolchain)
doesn't take this dependency in account and starts to compile packages
for the target. Without an working gcc this may be difficult...

There were a rule, some time ago - never break the build - where is it
gone. Some time ago the buildroot built, even for avr32, without to much
problems. There going discussions on about distributional packages and BSPs.
But as long as the toolchain doesn't built, all these gimmicks aren't
usable.

By the way that problem isn't the only thing broken at the moment; I
fixed it by now by reverting the patch and letting the toolchain compile
as usual targets.

regards

Benjamin

GDB in particular is now broken on a clean build, and stops the build. This 
recently happened.

I agree many others have been trying to build w/o a toolchain for some time.

Somehow i was lucky and me selecting a native target compiler made
sure that all directories were setup properly.

This dependency glitch should be fixed in r19280.

Please let me know if this works now -- and sorry for any inconvenience
this may have caused..)

cheers,
