This commit finally bumps ARC tools to the most recent arc-2017.09 release version. ARC GNU tools of version arc-2017.09 bring some quite significant changes like: * Binutils v2.29 with additional ARC patches * GCC 7.1.1 with additional ARC patches * glibc 2.26 with additional ARC patches More information on this release could be found here: https://github.com/foss-for-synopsys-dwc-arc-processors/toolchain/releases/tag/arc-2017.09-release Signed-off-by: Evgeniy Didin Cc: Alexey Brodkin Cc: arc-buildroot@synopsys.com Cc: Thomas Petazzoni Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

toolchain: Bump ARC tools to arc-2017.09-rc1

2017-10-08T14:10:27+00:00

This commit bumps ARC toolchain to arc-2017.09-rc1. The arc-2017.09 series is built on top of upstream GCC 7.1.1 and Binutils 2.29 so please expect all kinds of breakages related to GCC 7.x as we saw earlier with the move from 4.8 to 6.x :) Note patches for both GCC and Binutils were updated with copies from corresponding mainline versions, i.e. "package/gcc/7.2.0" and "package/binutils/2.29". Please note that it is a release candidate and it might contain some breakages, please don't use it for production builds.

package/binutils: bump to 2.29.1

2017-10-01T21:15:09+00:00

There is a problem between the git tag and the archive release content, they are not in sync [1]. The version used to generate the archive allow us to remove the xtensa patches. Otherwise, see the announce [2].

binutils: switch to use 2.28.x as the default version

2017-08-01T21:37:51+00:00

Now that binutils 2.29 has been released, it is time to move to binutils 2.28.x as the default binutils version, instead of 2.27. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: add support for binutils 2.29

2017-07-31T19:26:46+00:00

All patches from binutils 2.28 are kept, except patch 0906-microblaze-pr21180.patch, because it has been merged upstream as of commit bd757ca7bf5886a4025ca02093fca1b8c5ce11a2. Other patches are slightly adapted to differences that appeared in binutils 2.29. The patches are now all Git formatted, so instead of having weird sequence numbers, they have normal sequence numbers starting from 0001 and incrementing. Since binutils 2.29 is now available as a .tar.xz tarball, we use this format instead of .bz2 used for previous versions. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

binutils: bump 2.28.x series to 2.28.1

2017-07-31T19:26:33+00:00

binutils 2.28.1 is a bug-fix release of the 2.28.x branch, so let's switch to it. Since a xz-compressed tarball is available, we use it instead of the bz2-compressed one. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni

arch/xtensa: accept the overlay to be an URL

2017-07-09T14:58:03+00:00

It can be interesting to get the overlay from a remote server, rather than expect it to be present locally. Since that file can be any URL, we can't know its hash, so we just exclude it.

arch/xtensa: allow specifying path to tarball file

2017-07-09T13:41:51+00:00

currently, specifying a custom Xtrensa core is done with two variables: - the core name - the directory containing the overlay tarball However, the core name only serves to construct the tarball name, and is not used whatsoever to configure any of the toolchain components (binutils, gcc or gdb), except through the files that are overlayed in their respective source trees. This has two main drawbacks: - the overlay file must be named after the core, - the tarball can not be compressed. Furthermore, it also makes it extremely complex to implement a download of that tarball. So, those two variables can be squeezed into a single variable, that is the complete path of the overlay tarball. Update the qemu-xtensa defconfig accordingly. Note: we do not add a legacy entry for BR2_XTENSA_CORE_NAME, since it was previously a blind option in the last release, and there's been no release since we removed BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM_NAME. So, we just update the legacy comments for BR2_XTENSA_CUSTOM_NAME, since that's all the user could have seen in any of our releases so far. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

binutils: use the new gettext logic

2017-07-04T23:27:24+00:00

This commit switches to use the new gettext logic, which involves: - using TARGET_NLS_DEPENDENCIES instead of hand-encoded dependencies on gettext/host-gettext - using TARGET_NLS_LIBS to force linking against libintl. This wasn't done so far, but is needed for the build to work, because uClibc now has a stub gettext implementation, which is mistaken as being the full gettext implementation by the configure script - dropping BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT selection Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
