The GENERATE_LOCALE variable is used for the qstripped version of
BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE. It was used by both the glibc locale generation
code (in the main Makefile), and by the uClibc logic in
package/uclibc/uclibc.mk. However, since commit
33de740170 ("Makefile: convert
"target-generatelocales" to a hook"), this code has been moved around
in the main Makefile, and the definition of GENERATE_LOCALE is now
*after* uclibc.mk is included, and therefore this variable is always
empty when uclibc.mk looks at it for its conditionals. Moreover, it is
now only defined in the main Makefile is BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC is
'y', which obviously isn't the case for uClibc toolchains.
Since it's anyway not very clear to have this variable shared between
the glibc locale generation logic in the main Makefile and the uClibc
configuration code in uclibc.mk, this commit:
- Renames the GENERATE_LOCALE variable in the main Makefile to
GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES.
- Renames the GENERATE_LOCALES hook to GENERATE_GLIBC_LOCALES, since
it's specific to glibc.
The fix for the uClibc case is part of a followup commit.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of
root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.
You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
Offline build:
==============
In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source
before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.
Building out-of-tree:
=====================
Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:
$ make O=/tmp/build
And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build.
More finegrained configuration:
===============================
You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config
And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config
To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine
Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig
