binutils: disable plugins for static links

2016-03-20T14:02:52+00:00

Plugins want to use dlopen even when configured with --disable-shared. Add --disable-plugins when STATIC_LIBS is selected. Fixes: http://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/a59e5858d777dcee3d8f7fb6e82ee4735b520155/ Signed-off-by: Max Filippov Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: use binutils 2.25.1 by default

2016-03-10T22:34:58+00:00

Recent commit 5eb37d6adcfef996f1cd71effec8c2af42c0aed3 broke the build by default to binutils 2.25 for the target, while we only have hashes for 2.25.1. Use 2.25.1 instead. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

package/binutils: add optional support for zlib

2016-02-21T20:30:17+00:00

When zlib was compiled before, binutils will use it as optional dependency: $ output/host/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-readelf -a output/target/usr/lib/libbfd-2.24.so | grep NEEDED 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libz.so.1] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.1] Apparantly the build system offers no support to control the dependency, --without-system-zlib with zlib installed still provides libbfd-2.24.so linked to libz.so.1.

toolchain: bump ARC toolchain components to arc-2015.12

2016-02-05T20:48:51+00:00

This change introduces newer ARC toolchain in Buildroot. That new arc-2015.12 release doesn't bring any significant changes but mostly is focused on fixes and minor improvements here and there. Most noticeable changes are: * GCC: Source update to v4.8.5 * GDB: Updated to upstream 7.10 release. You may find more info on fixes and improvements in that release at: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2015.12 Signed-off-by: Lada Trimasova Cc: Alexey Brodkin Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Cc: Peter Korsgaard Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: ensure TARGET_CONFIGURE_ARGS is taken into consideration for subdirs

2016-02-01T22:46:45+00:00

Binutils runs the configure scripts of subdirs at make time, so we need a custom build command to ensure TARGET_CONFIGURE_ARGS are taken into consideration for those (E.G. for musl gettext handling). Reported-by: Bernd Kuhls Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

toolchain: bump ARC toolchain components to arc-2015.12-rc1

2016-01-19T21:01:37+00:00

This change introduces newer ARC toolchain in Buildroot. Note this is the first release candidate and we'll probably see another RC before cutting the final release. That new arc-2015.12 release doesn't bring any significant changes but mostly is focused on fixes and minor improvements here and there. Most noticeable changes are: * GCC updated to v4.8.5 * GDB updated to 7.10 You may find more info on fixes and improvements in that release at: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2015.12-rc1 Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Cc: Peter Korsgaard Cc: arc-buildroot@synopsys.com Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: remove unnecessary host-texinfo dependency

2015-09-20T12:57:02+00:00

host-texinfo dependency was only necessary when building the git version of binutils, however, this upstream commit allows binutils to build without makeinfo (a binary provided by host-texinfo)... https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=bba33ab1e0f7d2ebd8f8435f92ed12e2a3c558a4 ...so we can safely remove the host-texinfo dependency.

binutils: use binutils 2.24 by default on the target

2015-07-13T15:32:36+00:00

When binutils is not built for the host, binutils.mk decides of the version to be used when building binutils for the target. We're still using the old 2.22 binutils version, but it's time to bump up to 2.24, which we already use as the default version for the host. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni Acked-by: Gustavo Zacarias
