Add support for overriding the profile and install baselayout for merged-usr #32

It's almost never what users want and causes issues even if they change the profile later. Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/748975 Signed-off-by: James Le Cuirot <[email protected]>

Bah, |
crossdev environments need to support merged-usr now, especially now that the profile can be selected. The logic around this is messy and best handled by the baselayout package when it is supported by the arch. This package now gets installed immediately before binutils. It means a few small extra files get installed, but that's a small price to pay. We could INSTALL_MASK them, but that would just add more complexity.

This is still breaking for riscv. I think it's because it's getting the ABI list from multilib.eclass rather than the profile. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Code-wise, this looks good to me.

It still needs some work, unfortunately, but thanks. |

@chewi Are you planning to finish this PR? If not, do you mind if I take it over, re-submit and try to make it green? I would really love to see it merged. For now I have to use |

I did do a lot more on this afterwards, but the riscv stuff was very hairy. I can't remember exactly where that ended up, need to dredge it up from my memory. It led into trying to make the LLVM stuff less rigid, but that ended up being a huge can of worms. Perhaps this still work if I leave the LLVM stuff alone. I'll refresh my memory over the weekend. |

Got it. Feel free to ping me about any specific LLVM-related problems, I'm happy to help. |

This supersedes #22, which added the initial support for the overriding the profile. This extends that work, adding a warning if you don't select a profile, and installing baselayout to get the right layout with merged-usr profiles.
It also includes a couple of other small improvements.
Unfortunately, merged-usr layouts will still suffer from gentoo/gcc-patches#8 when the sysroot is changed from the default. The embedded profile with a split-usr profile is still the default, changing the sysroot is an advanced use case, and I've managed to work around the issue with cross-boss, so I think it's okay to merge these changes now.
