commit: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=643aa232f0d5ef7545fb4ed1a4d3f70399702ef0
branch: http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master


The current Buildroot works just well with sysrootable glibc
toolchains, using the external toolchain feature. The only thing that
needs to be customized is the set of libraries that must be compiled
to the target.

The following patch takes a simple approach to making it easier for
users to use glibc toolchains. It just adds a uClibc/glibc choice in
the external toolchain menu. Then, depending on that selection, the
configuration system will choose a sane default value for the library
files list.

The other advantage of having a uClibc/glibc choice is that in the
future, we'll be able to add checks verifying that the external
toolchain configuration matches the features selected in Buildroot (in
terms of IPv6, RPC, locales or large file support).
