[Buildroot] [RFC 2/2] Config.in: move toolchain menu before build options

[Yann E. MORIN]

Arnout, All,

On 2021-10-06 22:41 +0200, Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) spake thusly:
> Many of the build options depend on the toolchain configuration. In
> addition, it's pretty logical that you select first target architecture,
> then the toolchain, and only then things like debug and pic/pie.
> Therefore, move the "Toolchain" menu before the "Build options" menu
> instead of after.

I think a much better solution would be to move the toolchain-related
build options to the "Toolchain" menu, and keep in the "Build options"
menu focused on the actual generic build "infra" (arg, I can't find a
proper word...). Parallel jobs, download tools, patch directories et al.
really are related to the build infrastructure, while static, -Os et al.
are more about the toolchain "configuration".

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
