[Buildroot] Download external toolchain with make source

[Fache, Herve]

Hello list,

We have a need for an external toolchain, and need to be able to
download everything for off-line compilation. To reach this goal, we
have added the option for make source to download the external
toolchain together with the packages.

I thought you may be interested in this very simple patch to support
this feature :-)

regards,
Herv?

Thanks. I would prefer to use (ab)use the uclibc-source target, similar
to how we ensure the external toolchain gets setup before building
packages.

I also just noticed crosstool-ng needs it as well.

I'll fix it up and commit.

For crosstool-NG, that's not that easy. There is no top-level rule to just
do the download. crosstool-NG does its own downloading.

So, we have to build crosstool-NG, which implies building host-gawk and
host-automake, and their dependencies...

I've done the necessary stuff here, and will post a patch shortly after a
little bit more of testing...

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

I can't see this in the latest release, or am I looking in the wrong place?

Kind regards,
Herv?
