CHANGES: update for 2015.11-rc1

2015.11-rc1, not yet released

	Fixes all over the tree and new features.

	Architectures:

	- Support for sparc64 added (internal toolchain with glibc

	  only).

	- Support for mips32r6 and mips64r6 added.

	- Support for Intel Quark X1000 CPU.

	- Switch to EABIhf by default on ARM when a VFP is available.

	Toolchains:

	- glibc 2.22, gdb 7.10, use gdb 7.9 by default, musl 1.1.12,

	  uclibc-ng 1.0.8, host-gdb enabled on AArch64.

	- The toolchain wrapper which was used only for external

	  toolchains is now also used for Buildroot internal

	  toolchains. This allowed to fix the ccache support, prepare

	  the way for top-level parallel build support and remove gcc

	  patches used to detect header/library path poisoning.

	- Remove Analog Devices Blackfin toolchain 2012R2.

	- Fix several Xtensa build failures by switching from

	  text-section-literals to auto-litpools.

	- Enable MIPS64 support in uClibc-ng, use uClibc on ARC

	  rather than a specific fork.

	- Linaro toolchains for ARM, ARMeb and AArch64 updated to

	  2015.08. 2014.09 version is kept since 2015.08 only runs on

	  x86_64 hosts.

	Bootloaders:

	- Fix ARM64 support in U-Boot.

	Defconfigs:

	- Added: ARC HS38 VDK virtual boards, Avnet Microzed, Boundary

	  Devices Nitrogen SoloX, Freescale i.MX6 SoloX Sabre SD,

	  OLinuxino A20 Lime2, Qemu Sparc64, Qemu SuperH 4 big endian,

	  Synopsys AArch64 VDK virtual platform.

	- Updated: calao_qil_a9260, calao_usb_a9g20_lpw, ci20,

	  cubieboad, freescale_imx6_*, imx53loco, imx6_vab820,

	  mpc8315erdb, qmx6, p1010rdb, qemu, raspberrypi,

	  raspberrypi2, riotboard, snps_axs10*, wandboard.

	- Removed: at91rm9200df, at91sam9260dfc, at91sam9263ek,

	  calao_snowball_defconfig, gnublin, integrator926_defconfig.

	Infrastructure:

	- Support for fetching from Mercurial tags fixed.

	- Introduce LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES, which allows to enforce

	  module support to be enabled in the kernel when a package

	  builds out-of-tree kernel modules (through the

	  pkg-kernel-module infrastructure or on its own).

	- Improve the perl package infrastructure to automatically add

	  the dependency to the perl interpreter to target perl module

	  packages.

	- Remove trailing slashes in <pkg>_SITE and addition of a

	  check to ensure such trailing slashes are no longer added.

	- Extend the legal infrastructure to allow packages to declare

	  their actual source code. This is useful for packages for

	  which <pkg>_SOURCE points to pre-built binaries (as is the

	  case for external toolchains). The new <pkg>_ACTUAL_SOURCE

	  variable allows to point to the source code in such cases.

	- Improved ccache support, thanks to the usage of a toolchain

	  wrapper for internal toolchain. Now a single cache directory

	  can be shared between different Buildroot builds.

	- Addition of a 'graph-size' make targets, which generates a

	  PDF graph of per-package size of the root filesystem.

	- Addition of <pkg>_EXCLUDES so that packages can request

	  certain parts of the source code tarball to not be

	  extracted. This feature is currently used by gcc and

	  toolchain-external.

	- Packages can now use the <pkg>_PKGDIR variable, provided by

	  the package infrastructure, to reference their package

	  directory, instead of explicitly using package/<pkg>/.

	Filesystems:

	- Add high lz4 compression to squashfs.

	- Simplification of shell profile files in the default

	  skeleton.

	- Remove ftp user and /home/ftp from the skeleton, and let ftp

	  server packages create these when needed.

	- Add support for /bin, /sbin and /lib to be symlinks to their

	  corresponding directories in /usr. This is enforced for

	  systemd configurations, and optional for other

	  configurations.

	- Support for AXFS filesystem image generation added.

	- New options to add extra space/inodes to ext2/3/4 images.
