Richard Purdie - May 10, 2011, 2 p.m.
From: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>

The intent is to allow distros to share common core config but still allow
customisations. The core should work with no distro set but users
can still customise in any ways needed.

Please include it after $DISTRO, otherwise ?= in $DISTRO won't work as intended.

Something more elaborate would be better, this is what angstrom has:

conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_arm = "soft"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_armeb = "soft"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_ixp4xx = "soft"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_ppc405 = "soft"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_armv6 = "hard"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_armv6-novfp = "soft"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_armv7a = "hard"
conf/distro/include/angstrom.inc:TARGET_FPU_ppc603e = "hard"

you really want to use hard (don't confuse it with hardfp) on armv7a.

Maybe something like angstroms version:

TARGET_OS .= "${@['','-gnueabi'][bb.data.getVar('TARGET_ARCH',d,1) in ['arm', 'armeb']]}"

Angstrom has this for *libc:

# The things *libc can provide.
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libc = "${TCLIBC}"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-initial = "${TCLIBC}-initial"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-for-gcc = "${TCLIBC}"

# And the same as above for the nativesdk
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libc-nativesdk = "${TCLIBC}-nativesdk"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${SDK_PREFIX}libc-initial-nativesdk = "${TCLIBC}-initial-nativesdk"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${SDK_PREFIX}libc-for-gcc-nativesdk = "${TCLIBC}-nativesdk"

I needed the initial-nativesdk for meta-toolchain, but I can't recall the exact problem

Agreed but we have a problem here as the default OVERRIDES in OECore
don't include BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH. I'm kind of reluctant to do so too as
the number of cases we need this are small and the strings aren't very
unique. I'b feel happier if the override was something like
parch-${BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH} as you could at least easily spot where it
was being used.

I appreciate we need to do something here, its just a question of what.

I decided the _arm was more readable. Once we address the OVERRIDE
issue, we can add the spe bits.

My eyes! We must be able to something more readable than that. Do we
even support armv1?

These are partly in tcmode-default.inc and partly in in tclibc-*.inc.
I've fixed this for them all to be in tcmode-default.inc :)

oe had lot of combinations to consider e.g.
oabi/eabi/spe/uclinux/uclibc/external-toolchain when it came to
compute the TARGET_OS and while not so readable may be it did address
all of the combinations and permutations well. oe-core may not *yet* worry for many of them
and some like oabi can be dropped but eventually it might need something
handy to compute TARGET_OS may be a map would be more readable.
