[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] Improved uClibc support with ct-ng generated toolchain

[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] Improved uClibc support with ct-ng generated toolchain

[Will Wagner]

Currently there is a hard coded uClibc config file when building
with crosstools-ng. This patch:
- Allows user to pick uClibc version when using ct-ng
- Allows user to select nptl when using 0.9.32
- Supplys better default uClibc config files (Using same config files as for in$
- Allows user to specify a custom uClibc config file 

Split patch into four and made changes suggested from Yann's feedback

You missed the trailing underscore. Without it, the folowing option
would also match: CT_LIBC_UCLIBC_VERBOSITY_0 (and _1 and _2, too).

Yes, I also forgot it in my answer to your initial mail, but I just
wrote that regexp directly in the mail, and said:
    "untested, may need some tweaking"

;-)

Will and Gustavo, please coordinate with each other:

 - Will wants to reference that file to commonalise the uClibc configuration
   files between the internal backend and the crosstool-NG backend, see:
      http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-December/048123.html

 - Gustavo wants to remove the file because the internal toolchain backend
   is dropping support for uClibc-0.9.30; see:
      http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2011-December/048099.html

I am not sure what the proper resolution could be. Surely enough, I think
what Will wants to do is the correct way: use a single (set of) files for
both backends. Also, the internal backend should not be impacted by some
requirements of the ct-ng backend.

Anyway, in the meantime, because Gustavo's patch is not yet applied...
Will, you can add my:

That last sentence should not be there. It is misleading in this context.

It's quite simple actually, if we support any form of uClibc 0.9.30.x 
there are packages which won't build unless functionality backporting is 
done.
For example udev needs needs 99c1547124d7f410a3e3db66aa5816e53a96c156 
for 0.9.31 (and would so for 0.9.30.x)
Any takers for undeprecating and testing a ton of packages against 
0.9.30.x?
Maybe the backporting is there for ct-ng toolchains?
Regards.

I had not noticed that 0.9.30 was marked as deprecated, added that to ct-ng.

Not sure we need to rush to remove 0.9.30 as it is already marked 
deprecated, but when we do remove it I guess we should remove from ct-ng 
toolchains as well.

And digging a little further it seems the udev bump broke it with 
uClibc 0.9.31.x too.
I guess it's time to do some more backporting for that.
Any particular need to keep 0.9.30.x around if it's already deprecated?
I see a point in people wanting 0.9.31.x because of the threading 
differences.
But i think 0.9.30.x is just going to add troubles than solving 
anything.
Regards.
