Mark Hatle 3e4d84aea3 arch-mips.inc: Add the MIPS ABIEXTENSION to toolchain name
[YOCTO #7143]

When the system is configured for a multilib SDK, such as:

require conf/multilib.conf
MULTILIBS = "multilib:lib32 multilib:lib64"
DEFAULTTUNE = "mips32r2"
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib32 = "mips64-n32"
DEFAULTTUNE_virtclass-multilib-lib64 = "mips64"

Only one of the mips64-n32 or mips64 toolchains is built.  Causing the
other to be unavailable.  This is due to both recipes ending up with the
same PN.

The toolchain uses the TRANSLATED_TARGET_ARCH in it's name, however the
target for mips64 and mips64 n32 were the same, causing the conflict.
Avoid this conflict by adding the ABIEXTENSION to the name.

  • Initial Version

MIPS currently defines 12 ABIs. Combinations of: *) Big/Little Endian *) Hardware/Software Floating Point *) o32, n32, n64 ABI

TUNE_ARCH, the GNU canonical arch, is defined as:

mips${MIPSPKGSFX_BYTE}${MIPSPKGSFX_ENDIAN}

The package arch is defined in such a way to generated a standard naming scheme. The scheme is: [-nf][-n32]

TUNE_PKGARCH is defined as:

${MIPSPKGSFX_VARIANT_tune-${DEFAULTTUNE}}${MIPSPKGSFX_FPU}${MIPSPKGSFX_ABI}

The following is a list of MIPS specific variables:

MIPSPKGSFX_BYTE - This is defined as either blank and "64" for MIPS64 CPUs.

MIPSPKGSFX_ENDIAN - For bigendian hardware this is blank, otherwise it's defined as "el".

MIPSPKGSFX_VARIANT_tune- - In the default tunings it is set to the same value as TUNE_ARCH. In custom, optimized tunings, the value should be modified to more precisely describe the tuning.

MIPSPKGSFX_FPU - The value is set to "" or "-nf", where "-nf" indicates that the tune is using a non-floating point ABI.

MIPSPKGSFX_ABI - This is used to specify an alternative ABI when the previous values are not enough to distringuish the package. "-n32" is added when building for N32 ABI.
