[Buildroot] [pull request v3] Pull request for branch update-mips-support

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

Here is a new version of the patch set that clarifies MIPS support,
and especially MIPS64 support.

It has four patches:

 * First patch refactors some uclibc.mk to use the existing BR2_ENDIAN
   config option rather than doing the same work again.

 * Second patch reworks the config option for mips. It creates two
   separate two level architectures for MIPS and MIPS64, and then
   clarifies the ABI names and config options.

 * Third patch (from Gustavo) remove old MIPS64 related toolchain
   kludge

 * Fourth patch (from Gustavo) adds a defconfig to build a mips64
   system for Qemu

Changes since v2:
 * None, except rebasing on master.

Changes since v1:

 * Addition of the first, third and fourth patches.
 * Separation of top-level mips64 architectures.
 * Simplification of uClibc code to find the architecture.

Best regards,

Thomas
