2015.02, Not yet released

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Static/shared library handling reworked. This is now a
	tristate (shared only / shared and static / static
	only). Default is now shared only to speed up the
	build. BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is now called BR2_STATIC_LIBS.

	The toolchain (internal and external) will now warn when an
	unsafe library or header path is used (such as /usr/include or
	/usr/lib). If BR2_COMPILER_PARANOID_UNSAFE_PATH is enabled
	under build options this instead becomes an error.

	A installation path issue with the internal musl toolchain
	support has been fixed so it is now possible to reuse it as an
	external toolchain.

	Architectures: Freescale E5500 and E6500 PowerPC support
	added, deprecated MIPS 1/2/3/4 support removed.

	New defconfigs: Freescale p2020ds, MIPS creator CI20,
	Raspberrypi with DT, UDOO Quad.

	'make <foo>_defconfig' now saves the path to the defconfig in
	the .config, so a 'make savedefconfig' automatically updates
	it.

	Infrastructure for packages using the Erland rebar tool has
	been added.

	Hashes for a large number of packages have been added. Hashes
	are now checked for both target and host packages.

	The system menu now has an option to automatically configure a
	network interface through DHCP at bootup.

	The default filesystem skeleton now uses a separate tmpfs for
	/run instead of a symlink to /tmp/ for security reasons / to
	protect against conflicts with user generated temporary files.

	BR2_EXTERNAL is now exported to post-build and post-image
	scripts.
