crosstool-ng: No CT_TOOLS_WRAPPER set when building a standard CROSS...

[Joachim Nilsson <jocke at vmlinux dot org>]

Hi everyone!

Using crosstool-ng I selected to build a standard cross toolchain using 
GCC 4.4.1. To that end I imported some gcc patches from buildroot and 
everything seemed fine.  Until I got to the final part of the build.

[EXTRA]    Installing toolchain wrappers
[ALL  ]    ln: accessing `.armeb-redfox-linux-uclibc-wrapper': No such 
file or directory
[ERROR]    Build failed in step 'Cleaning-up the toolchain's directory'
[ERROR]    Error happened in 
'/home/INTRANET/joachim/crosstool-ng/scripts/functions' in function 
'CT_DoExecLog' (line unknown, sorry)
[ERROR]          called from 
'/home/INTRANET/joachim/crosstool-ng/scripts/build/internals.sh' at line 
# 76 in function 'do_finish'
[ERROR]          called from 
'/home/INTRANET/joachim/crosstool-ng/scripts/crosstool-NG.sh' at line # 
544 in function 'main'

It seems that in scripts/build/internals.sh if CT_WRAPPER_NEEDED is set 
it also needs CT_TOOLS_WRAPPER to be set, but for my standard cross 
setup the CT_TOOLS_WRAPPER is not set in the .config file.

The build fails a couple of lines later in scripts/build/internals.sh 
when it tries to hardlink every tool to a wrapper that was not built for 
my cross setup (in the previous case).

I would have liked to include a patch, but I cannot make heads or tails 
of this wrapper business, are wrappers even needed for standard cross 
toolchains?  If so, then maybe there should be a default *) in the 
CT_TOOLS_WRAPPER case.

Any ideas?
