* file modes: Set files to be non-executableBryan Hundven2015-11-121-0/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I was going to start doing some autoconf work, and noticed that configure.in was executable. Then I noticed Makefile.in was executable. o.O So, I ran ```find . -type f -executable``` and found a bunch of files that shouldn't be set executable. This commit makes them normal files again.

| | | | | | | | | | | | Cygwin no longer supports managed mounts, enabling case-sensitivity in Cygwin requires changing the registry. FAQ number has also changed.
* | eglibc: Remove eglibc supportBryan Hundven2015-01-275-12/+10
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As posted on http://www.eglibc.org/ ==================== EGLIBC is no longer developed and such goals are now being addressed directly in GLIBC. ==================== I'm not interested in maintaining build support for unsupported software. Older branches of crosstool-ng continue to have eglibc support. If you find issues with older branches, I'm always open to pull requests. Removing eglibc also frees up glibc cleanup and build optimization. Signed-off-by: Bryan Hundven <bryanhundven@gmail.com>

* docs: credit Konrad EISELE for the initial multilib supportYann E. MORIN"2011-12-311-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Konrad submitted an initial patch adding multlib support: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-11/msg00040.html The patch was full of good ideas, but had a few issues, so I (Yann E. MORIN) started it all from scatch, re-using part of the original patch. This got implemented in this series: hg log -r 446a17b5dd1e:e47d17391ae3 As I forgot to credit Konrad in these changelogs, update the docs so that the work by Konrad gets credited. Without his initial effort, we would probably not have had multlib support so soon. Thank you Konrad! Signed-off-by: "Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr>

* docs: --target versus --hostYann E. MORIN"2011-11-161-5/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the very beginnings, eons ago, autotools also got confused by this whole build vs. host vs. target, and got it wrong. Now they fixed it, but they want to keep backward compatibility, so the --target is still recongised, although ./configure will complain if you do so. It is better to use --host.

* docs: add an in-depth explanations of the build stepsYann E. MORIN"2011-02-241-0/+257
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The build process is quite complex: gcc is built three times, there are two C library steps, there are those companion libraries... People often wonder what all these steps do, and why they are needed. Recently, someone proposed a tutorial on the crossgcc mailing list: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00059.html This meant that there was a need for such a tutorial, and explanations on how a toolchain is built. So i decide to extend my answers: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00060.html http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2011-01/msg00125.html into proper documentation in crosstool-NG.
