This commit solves bug #1051. The problem in this bug in that WebKit
compiles a sample C program, which uses WebKit. As WebKit is written
in C++, even though the program it built with CROSS-gcc, it must be
linked with libstdc++. However, CROSS-gcc can't find the libstdc++ has
it's hidden inside <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib.
Therefore, this commit creates a symbolic link <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib
-> <sysroot>/lib before running the CROSS-gcc installation. While this
may look like a hack, this is the solution used by both Crosstool-NG
and OpenWRT.
Moreover, with this symbolic link in place, I think bug #1741 may also
be solved. The problem in this bug is that the linker tries to link
against /lib/libc.so.0. This is due to the fact that the linker finds
a libc.so script file in the original toolchain location and not
inside the copy of the toolchain sysroot in $(STAGING_DIR). As the
script file is found outside of the current toolchain sysroot, ld
considers the script has non-sysrooted, and therefore doesn't prefix
all paths found in the script file (such as /lib/libc.so.0) with the
sysroot path, leading to the failure.
So, in details, this commit :
* Adds a BR2_ARCH_IS_64 invisible config knob that is used to know if
the arch is a 64 bits architecture or not.
* Creates the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib -> <sysroot>/lib symbolic link,
and the <sysroot>/<tuple>/lib64 -> <sysroot>/lib64 symbolic link if
needed.
* Fixes the external toolchain sysroot detection code so that the
'sed' replacement is done *after* the readlink -f evaluation.
I have tested this by building ARM, x86 and x86_64 toolchains with
Buildroot, and then use these toolchains as external toolchains to
build a full X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack. I have also done a
complete ARM Buildroot internal toolchain build with the same full
X.org/Gtk/WebKit/Midori stack.
