Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) 90932b407c toolchain: invert glibc <-> !static dependency
Currently, glibc depends on !BR2_STATIC_LIBS in all the toolchain
variants.

However, for some architectures, glibc is the only supported libc. In
commit 3b3105328e ("Config.in: only
allow BR2_STATIC_LIBS on supported libc/arch"), we implemented a fix
to avoid configurations were BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y with an architecture
already supported by glibc, because these configurations are
impossible. This commit 3b3105328e
prevents from selecting BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y when the C library used for
the internal toolchain backend is glibc.

However, it introduces a discrepency between how this topic is handled
for internal and external toolchains:

 - For internal toolchains, we prevent BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y if glibc is
   chosen.

 - For external toolchains, we allow BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y in all cases,
   and it's each glibc toolchain that has !BR2_STATIC_LIBS

This commit addresses this discrepency by preventing BR2_STATIC_LIBS=y
if glibc is chosen in all cases.

Thanks to this, we can remove the !BR2_STATIC_LIBS dependency on both
the glibc package, and all glibc external toolchains.

[Thomas: update to master, fix the gen-bootlin-toolchains script, add
a comment in the static/shared choice to indicate that static is
supported only with uclibc or musl]

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
