This patch adds a new package for building binutils for a bare-metal toolchain.
The cpu architecture is defined by a toolchain-bare-metal virtual package.
While any cpu architecture could be used, the default configuration will be a
Xilinx microblaze little endian architecture, so that buildroot will be able
to build the microblaze firmware applications for zynqmp and versal.
In order to build the zynqmp pmufw and versal plm applications without error,
binutils version 2.41 or higher is required.

While updating ARC GNU toolchain version (see [1]) we unintentionally
got rid of "0001-poison-system-directories.patch" which still makes
sense.
Even though one may think that we do not need these Binutils patches
because we do "poisoning" of system directories in toolchain wrapper,
but these wrappers don't exist for tools originated from Binutils, only
for gcc, g++ etc.
So we need to keep that patch still, sorry.

Indeed, in this case, libsframe is not installed even after applying
commit 1b4d921e1d because
BR2_BINUTILS_VERSION_2_40_X is not selected by anyone (binutils package
is selected by oprofile and the toolchain is not generated by buildroot)
To fix this issue, invert the logic: install libsframe by default (i.e.
when binutils is selected or with a buildroot toolchain). libsframe will
not be installed only if binutils < 2.40 is detected.

Support for the AVX512FP16 instructions was added in binutils
2.38. See the binutils 2.38 releases notes [0] that state:
X86:
[...]
* Add support for Intel AVX512_FP16 instructions.
[0] https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-February/119721.html
It turns out that when building GCC 12.x, some of these AVX512FP16
instructions are now used, and therefore when binutils < 2.38 is used,
the build fails as the assembler does not recognize those
instructions:
/tmp/ccChzL2g.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccChzL2g.s:20: Error: no such instruction: `vmovw 24(%esp),%xmm2'

/tmp/ccChzL2g.s:122: Error: no such instruction: `vucomish %xmm2,%xmm2'
The same issue does not occur with GCC 11.x, but nothing prevents
other packages than GCC to use those instructions, so the problem
really lies on the binutils side missing the support for those
instructions.
Also, in Buildroot, we do not distinguish AVX512 in general from
AVX512FP16 specifically, so our only option is to make binutils 2.37
unavailable for AVX512 systems even if some of them perhaps don't
support AVX512FP16 anyway. This seems like a reasonable trade-off, as
binutils 2.38 is anyway already the default in Buildroot, and
AVX512-capable systems are fairly recent, and therefore using a recent
binutils version should not be a problem on these platforms.

binutils 2.39 added support for gprofng, a new profiler (see
https://www.phoronix.com/news/GNU-Profiler-gprofng).
This new profiler is enabled by default, but it requires bison on the
host.
In order to handle this, this commit:
- Adds a new option BR2_BINUTILS_GPROFNG, which allows to
enable/disable gprofng in host-binutils
- Unconditionnally disables gprofng for the target binutils, based on
the idea that in a Buildroot context the analysis of profiling data
is generally done on the host system. This can of course always be
revisited later by adding a new option to the target binutils
package.

Currently, this option doesn't do anything. It only adds
--enable-plugins --enable-lto to the configure flags, but doesn't
disable them if it is not set. Since both of these default to enabled,
plugins and lto are effectively always enabled.
There really is no need to make this configurable: it adds a bit of size
and build time to host-binutils, but we don't care about that for host
tools. It's still up to individual builds to enable the LTO options.
Therefore, remove the option entirely. For clarity, explicitly pass
--enable-plugins --enable-lto to configure.

In BINUTILS_INSTALL_TARGET_CMDS (target!), libiberty is installed
to STAGING_DIR.
This is not necessary since libiberty is already unconditionally
installed to staging in BINUTILS_INSTALL_STAGING_CMDS. Furthermore
the presence of STAGING_DIR path in TARGET_CMDS is confusing and
incorrect.
Moreover libiberty is static only. Static libraries are only used at
build time, not at run time so we do not need to install libiberty in
target.
This commit removes the incorrect libiberty install in TARGET_CMDS and
adds a comment to clarify why we do not see libiberty installed on
target.

After fixing binutils bug 21464, bug 28735 showed up. It got fixed very
soon after my request:
https://sourceware.org/pipermail/binutils/2022-January/119078.html
So let's add patch and backported patches to all binutils versions to make
Buildroot free from bug 28735. Unfortunately Bootlin toolchains have just
been rebuilt and will fail for this bug. This happened because libgeos
has been bumped few time ago and was masked by bug 21464 dependency that

0008-or1k-fix-pc-relative-relocation-against-dynamic-on-P.patch was

TRUE/FALSE, true/false must be used.

As found out by Yann [1], binutils will use its bundled copy of zlib,
whether it is already provided by the system or not, and unless
explicitly told to use the system zlib with --with-system-zlib, which
is available since version 2.21 and
700d40ca16
This will fix the following build failure with oprofile when compiling
in a static configuration where zlib is not enabled:
checking for bfd_openr in -lbfd... no
checking for compress in -lz... no
configure: error: libz library not found; required by libbfd
As found out by Arnout [1], this fails infrequently because static is
already pretty rare, but in addition zlib is almost always selected by
some other package.

Release notes:
We are very sorry to have to report that a problem was found with the
GNU Binutils 2.36 release. It turns out that it contained a small
portion of code that was not covered by an FSF copyright assignment.
So we have created a replacement release - 2.36.1 - with that code
removed.
In addition we found that a fix for a theoretical security
vulnerability[1] was itself broken and could result in the archiver
program "ar" misbehaving. So we have chosen to revert the fix from
the 2.36.1 release whilst the problem is properly resolved.
