crosstool-0.28-rc21: more gcc-3.4.0, binutils-2.15, linux-2.6.6 support


In this snapshot, gcc-3.4.0/glibc-2.3.2/binutils-2.15/linux-2.6.6 works for most CPU types
(including the hard ones, mips, sh, arm, ppc7450, etc.)

Download as usual from
http://kegel.com/crosstool/crosstool-0.28-rc21.tar.gz

Please test. If I've dropped any patches you sent me, please resend.

0.28-rc21:
     demo-loop.sh:
     * added.   Like demo.sh, but directly sets tool versions itself.
       Handy for testing whether one or more versions of gcc build for all CPU types.

     getandpatch.sh:
     * handle gcc-2.95.3 hide-and-go-seek at gnu.org
     * handle gcc-3.5 snapshots and gcc-3.3.4 release candidates

     doc:
     * fix typo in doc/chroot-login-howto.html

     mkjail.sh:
     * locate strip better for workstation case

     crosstool.sh:
     * use -sysinclude to get right kernel headers when building glibc for mips on linux-2.6
     * let user specify BUILD machine tuple by setting GCC_BUILD (useful when crosstool.sh stands alone)
     * now knows how to coax linux-2.6 to emulate 'make symlinks' for more architectures (sh, mips, and arm)

     patches:
     * arm-softfloat:
       Note that I patch gcc-3.4.0 much less heavily than gcc-3.3.3 for arm-softfloat;
       much of Nico's gcc-3.3.3 patch is already in gcc-3.4.0.  All that's left is tidying.
       Thanks to Dmitry Andric for putting up his patches at
       http://www.andric.com/cross/patches/gcc-3.3.2-arm-softfloat.patch.bz2
       http://www.andric.com/cross/patches/gcc-3.4.0-arm-softfloat.patch.bz2
       http://www.andric.com/cross/patches/gcc-3.4.0-arm-lib1asm.patch.bz2
       from which I mostly only used the lib1asm.patch, but others may want to look into the others.
       - added patches/gcc-3.4.0/gcc-3.4.0-arm-lib1asm.patch
       - added patches/gcc-3.4.0/gcc-3.4.0-arm-nolibfloat.patch

    * mips:
       Get mips building with linux-2.6 and gcc-3.4.0:
       - patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-mips-user.patch
       - patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-allow-gcc-3.4-nounit.patch
       - patches/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2/glibc-linuxthreads-2.3.2-allow-3.4.patch (the mips hunk is not from cvs!)

     * sh4:
       - patches/gcc-{3.3.3,3.4.0}/pr13250-fix.patch
       - patches/gcc-3.4.0/pr15647-fix.patch (gcc-3.3.3 backport coming soon from Kaz)

     * ppc:
       - patches/gcc-3.4.0/gcc-3.3.3h-ppc-asm-spec.patch to fix altivec problems with binutils-2.15

     * glibc:
       fix cross-compilation detection (for canadian builds):
       - patches/glibc-2.1.3/glibc-2.1.3-ac_cv_prog_cc_cross.patch
       - patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-cross-2.patch
       fix some errors flagged by gcc-3.5:
       - patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-allow-gcc-3.5.patch

0.28-rc19:
     ppc:
     * added demo-ppc440.sh and demo-ppc604.sh

     alpha:
     * added patches/glibc-2.3.2/glibc-2.3.2-alpha-pwrite64.patch; now alpha and glibc-2.3.2 build

     linux-2.6:
     * brought a few patches forward to linux-2.6.6 and binutils-2.15 from previous versions
     * for 2.6 kernel headers on arm and cris, also do 'make include/asm-$ARCH/.arch'

     known issues:
     * demo-sh3.sh fails with
         include/asm/sigcontext.h:4:32: asm/cpu/sigcontext.h: No such file or directory
         make[2]: *** [libgcc/./_muldi3.o] Error 1
       when built against 2.6 kernel;
       see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108554726629507&w=2

     testhello.sh:
     * now only checks c++ compiler if present (should check GCC_LANGUAGES...)
       and doesn't do anything at all if GCC_HOST is set

     doc/crosstool-howto.html:
     * document canadian cross building, sort of
     * added ulimit -s tip for Mac OS X
     * updated known issues
