Description

Add cross-compiling support to build multiple architectures without need extra dependencies

  • support cross-compiling configuration
  • no need extra dependencies like libretools-mips64el
  • no need extra steps to build and upload packages
  • easy to use libremakepkg/librestage/librerelease

Add pacman flags, example:
  • CC and CPP (for native-gcc, crosscompiling-gcc and clang support)
  • TARCH (for package-tarball build [*-${TARCH}.pkg.tar.xz])
  • CTARGET (for cross-compiling compilation):

example - (crosscompiling_build-mips64el):

CPP=mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu-g++
CARCH="x86_64" 
TARCH="mips64el" 
CHOST="x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" 
CTARGET="mips64el-unknown-linux-gnu" 

#-- Compiler and Linker Flags
# -march (or -mcpu) builds exclusively for an architecture
# -mtune optimizes for an architecture, but builds for whole processor family
CPPFLAGS="-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" 
CFLAGS="-march=mips64el -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" 
CXXFLAGS="-march=mips64el -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4" 
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1,--sort-common,--as-needed,-z,relro,--hash-style=gnu" 
#-- Make Flags: change this for DistCC/SMP systems
MAKEFLAGS="-j4" 
#-- Debugging flags
DEBUG_CFLAGS="-g -fvar-tracking-assignments"

I'm down with most of this, but I'm not sure about dropping having a libretools-cross-${CARCH} (or somesuch) for cross-compiling. For one, it'd be silly to require qemu be installed on an ARM device to cross-compile for ARM. Similarly, it'd be silly to require that qemu be installed on ARM devices to cross-compile for x86, since ARM devices are typically under-powered.

So, this is added, except for extra dependencies.

Is everyone ok with having the optdepend binftm-qemu-static: To build ARM packages from x86?
