Mission
-------

Build a crosstool-ng toolchain for i486.

Use makepkg with patched PKGBUILDs for cross-compilation.

We cannot run tests this way, as we don't assume the i486
is running on x64_64 (which it does, but for the sake
of the general usage of the approach we MUST assume it
doesn't!).

Packages built for the chroot must be also accessible to
the cross-compiler (for header files, tools and libraries).
For this we unpack all generated chroot packages in the sysroot
of the toolchain.

x-tools and sysroot: the cross-compiler (cross-ng) and
the installed packages (using bsdtar) in the sysroot
of the toolchain.

i486-root destination root, being the boot image of the
temporary system for i486.

The goal is to get to a self-contained system with as
few packages as possible which allows a basic i486 to
be built. This requires at least some development tools,
pacman and some base system to be cross-compiled.

We also want basic network connetivity, so we can use
the i486 VMs or real i486 as build slaves. Also, having
a minimal bootable ISO for the i486 system (or even a
set of floppies or PXE boot via a boot floppy would
be very useful). We cannot have kernel modules in a 
ramdisk or systemd for this basic system because they
interfere heavily with memory constains on a 486! So,
we build up to an openssh server.

On top, the full Archlinux i486 universe can then be
built (either with a i486 chroot or via a i486 master/
distcc slaves setup or a distributed i486 cluster setup).

There is another caveat: we are patching the PKGBUILDs
to do proper cross-compilation (--with-host, --with-target).
Still we try to stay close to the original PKGBUILDs.

Recipe

#########
# PHASE 0
#########

# Prepare the host. We use Archlinux 64-bit as we don't fully trust the
# 32-bit toolchain in Archlinux32 (yet). And a 64-bit based toolchain is
# more usable anyway nowadays.

# Archlinux with base and base-devel (2018.01.01-x86_64.iso).
# OpenSSH and editor (joe), grub.

# Install necessary tools

./install_host.sh

# Prepare the cross-compiler for the destination platform, in our
# case i486.
#
# configuration of crosstools-ng:
#
# Target architecture i486
# Bitness 32-bit
# Architecture level i486
# Emit assembly for CPU i486
# Toolchain bug URL: https://bugs.archlinux32.org
# Type: Cross
# Build System: empty (was: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
# No NLS
# Target OS linux
# version of linux 4.13.9
# binutils 2.29.1
# select ld, gold as linkers
# C-library: glibc
# gcc 7.2.0
# no libmpx
# Don't forget to enable C++!

# build the toolchain, results in a 486 toolchain in /home/cross/x-tools

./build_cross.sh

# prepare repo where we build stage 1 with the cross-compiler

su cross ./prepare_stage1_repo.sh

#########
# PHASE 1
#########

# Build stage1 in $STAGE1_BUILD with the cross-compiler and modified
# PKGBUILDs and patches into $STAGE1_CHROOT.

# we cannot build the glibc or the compilers, we create phantom packages
# by hand without makepkg with files from the toolchain's sysroot

# so we build gcc-libs for compiler libraries (C and C++) and the glibc
# we will NOT build them using the cross-compiler as packages but later
# at the end of phase 1. This ensures glibc and gcc-libs are around as
# dependency for makepkg all the time, if not the original one, so close
# ones fitting to the crosstoolchain.

su cross ./create_gcc-lib_shim.sh

su cross ./create_glibc_shim.sh

# take pre-computed cert stores from an existing machine as the
# dependencies to build the package are just too many

su cross ./create_ca-certificates-utils_shim.sh

# Install stage 1

./build_stage1.sh

# Build stage 1 ISO

su cross ./create_cdrom.sh

PHASE 2
#######

Test what we can build inside the chroot.
When we get all dependencies right, we go into the real environment (which is
i486 and thus not SMP and slow- ok, we could use distcc, but anyway)

Main problem: we have trouble to run fakeroot in a chroot
fakeroot: nested operation not yet supported
makepkf -F takes care of that (thanks for providing minial fakeroot support)
but pacman also takes an -F parameter
-> INFAKEROOT=1 in /usr/bin/makepkg

As pacman seems to have some trouble, we overwrite the temp packages inside
the chroot and replace the files on the filesystem forcefully:
error: could not register 'temp' database (wrong or NULL argument passed)

In this round don't skip dependencies and tests if possible.

since 4.8 gcc is written in C++, fine. so we have to have a crosstool-ng C++ or

git: https helpers
chmod 0777 /usr/lib/git-core/git-remote-*

later: for inside the chroot
