arch: add support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 variants

2015-10-12T19:33:56+00:00

- Add support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 target architecture variants - Disable unsupported gcc versions - Disable unsupported binutils versions - Disable unsupported external toolchains - Disable unsuported C libraries - Add a hook in order to make glibc compile for MIPS R6. [Thomas: slightly tweak the glibc hack explanation, to make it hopefully clearer.] Signed-off-by: Vicente Olivert Riera Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: rename config option

Rename the binutils configuration option to match that one used by gcc where the patchlevel is explicitly left out. Signed-off-by: Gustavo Zacarias Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

ARC: update tools to arc-2015.06 release

2015-07-18T09:13:31+00:00

I'm happy to update GNU tools for ARC cores to the most recent arc-2015.06 release. This release brings following major improvements: * GCC: source update to v4.8.4 * GCC: C ABI compatibility between MetaWare and GNU toolchains * uClibc: support for thread local storage and Native Pthread Library (NPTL) * GDB: updated to version 7.9.1 Also a lot of fixes and improvements has been done, please refer to https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2015.06 for more details.

binutils: remove version 2.22

2015-07-13T15:33:50+00:00

We already use 2.24 as the default, 2.25 has been around for some time, and 2.22 is clearly very old, so let's get rid of it. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: Gustavo Zacarias

powerpc: disable binutils 2.24 for little endian

2015-07-03T08:33:06+00:00

Binutils 2.24 produces broken code when compiling the kernel for ppc64le, so prevent this combination. See: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-12/msg00200.html The problem manifests early in the boot process with "Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11" in arch_match_cpu_phys_id(). The fix has been merged upstream as commit 57fa7b8c7e59e35bced580f9bcb9668af43fdbce, which is available since Binutils 2.25. Signed-off-by: Sam Bobroff Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

ARC: switch to RC1 of upcoming arc-2015.06 tools

2015-06-28T12:35:15+00:00

Even though this is only RC1 it's been heavily used internally so it should not be any worse than existing arc-2014.12. Moreover this relase (and so its RC1) finally delivers support of NPTL for ARC in uClibc. That's why it would be good to allow interested users to start trying it (for example WebKit and apps that use WebKit could be successfully built and run) also it will be helpful to run that new toolchain through autobuilder in attempt to find any hidden regressions so we have a solid toolchain for release. If there's an interest in that patch more patches will follow with subsequent RCs and essentially on appearence or relese Buildroot will be updated with it.

toolchain: add link-time-optimization support

2015-03-07T14:01:53+00:00

Add a new option BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO that builds gcc and binutils with LTO support. Individual packages still have to enable LTO explicitly by passing '-flto' to GCC, which passes it on to the linker. This option does not add that flag globally. Some packages detect if the compiler supports LTO and enable the flag if it does. To support LTO, ar and ranlib must be called with an argument which triggers the usage of the LTO plugin. Since GCC doesn't call these tools itself, it instead provides wrappers for ar and ranlib that pass the LTO arguments. This way existing Makefiles don't need to be changed for LTO support. However, these wrappers are called -gcc-ar which matches the pattern to link to the buildroot wrapper in the external toolchain logic. So the external toolchain logic is updated to provide the correct symlink. [Thomas: - Add a separate BR2_BINUTILS_ENABLE_LTO option to enable LTO support in binutils. This is a blind option, selected by BR2_GCC_ENABLE_LTO. It just avoids having binutils.mk poke directly into gcc Config.in options. - Remove the check on the AVR32 special gcc version, which we don't support anymore. - Adapt the help text of the LTO Config.in option to no longer mention "Since version 4.5", since we only support gcc >= 4.5 in Buildroot anyway. - Fix typo in toolchain-external.mk comment.] Signed-off-by: Peter Kümmel Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
