meta-oe breakage since oe-core removed gcc-4.6

meta-oe breakage since oe-core removed gcc-4.6

[Thilo Fromm]

Hi meta-openembedded maintainers,

meta-openembedded buid is currently broken since oe-core removed
recipes for gcc-4.6, and meta-oe has .bbappends for several gcc 4.6
recipes now unavailable in oe-core.

No matter what's meta-oe's plan to handle this (i.e. move gcc-4.6 into
meta-oe/toolchain-layer completely vs. remove gcc 4.6 .bbappends
altogether), the current state - having the .bbappends in meta-oe and
no original recipes anymore in oe-core - breaks the build. Is this
going to change anytime soon? In either way?

Regards,
Thilo

khem's patches which removed it from oe-core said:
gcc-4.6: Retire into toochain-layer

so I guess he has some patches adding whole recipes to toolchain-layer
(I had a feeling that I've even seen them somewhere, but cannot find
them later). 

So for now I've removed all .bbappends as I'm using gcc-4.7.1 anyway.

you can cherry-pick this one for now:

the patch is here

Koen

Please pull it

I did not post it since it would hog patchwork

That was my guess, too. However, if Khem would have waited for Koen to
pull his patches for meta-oe before removing gcc-4.6 from oe-core then
no build would have been broken, I suppose.

Thanks for those patches, Khem!

+1 from me as it makes use of meta-linaro layer much easier.
