crosstool cleanup, again ;-)

Hello all!
About three months ago I wrote about the subject: cleaning up crosstool.
It appeared to be a bigger task I thought it would. :-(
So I stopped trying to think of a way to update crosstool, and tried a new
approach: re-write it.
You can check my work on my wiki:
http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=projects:crosstool
And the code is available through anonymous svn access:
svn co http://ymorin.is-a-geek.org/svn/crosstool/ct-ng
The targeted audience are people with some good basis and the know-how about
toolchains.
Main features are:
- menuconfig ( most important! :-) ),
- design from the ground-up,
- designed to support alternative components (see below),
- kernel headers from headers_install with recent kernels,
- large number of versions for gcc, glibc, uClibc, binutils and kernels,
- some sample targets configurations,
- a collection of patches vampirised from current crosstool and buildroot,
plus a few by me,
- improved (and eye-candy) logging facility,
- documentation (sparse for now, improving),
- ...
My main concern was to be able to build toolchains with different components:
- glibc or uClibc or ...
- gcc or tcc or ...
- linux or cygwin (or ?...)
- etc...
Hopefully adding one alternative component to the build process is as simple
as adding a config file and a build script for this component (already there
are glibc/uClibc).
It's not fully ready yet, but I thought someone would like to have a look.
Comments most welcome!
Thank you for your attention.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
