[PATCH v3] bitbake.conf: Define TC_CXX_RUNTIME

[PATCH v3] bitbake.conf: Define TC_CXX_RUNTIME

[Khem Raj]

This variable is used to denote the C/C++ compiler runtime to use.
Right now there are few alternatives out of the core which could
use this variable to define this property, the values it can take
are 'gnu' for gcc runtime. 'llvm' for using compiler-rt+libc++ and
'android' to use android runtime. Default settings is to use gnu
which is current silent default also.

Seems like you made a conscious decision to refer to the gcc runtime
library as "gnu" instead of "gcc". What was the reasoning? Using "gcc"
would seem to be clearer unless it clashes with some gcc upstream
naming convention.

Good question. Historically to avoid confusion with recipe with same name
when llvm was not a recipe and runtime in clang world is outside the
compiler
