External Toolchain Option doesn't copy libuClibc-*.so and ld-uClibc-Symlink

[Sven Bachmann <dev@…>]

As described in #9131 I'm building the OpenWrt toolchain separatly from the real firmware build. So I'm using the EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN option to 'link' to the OpenWrt-Toolchain directory.

Problem: Firmware build is fine, except the libraries needed to import from the toolchain dir. libc, libgcc, libpthread, librt are imported by base-files/Makefile and work as expected. But there are no rules for libuClibc-*.so and the ld-uClibc.so.0-Symlink, so they are not copied and busybox refuses to boot.

Simply copying the rules and definitions from libgcc seems not to make sense, because there are no other uClibc-menu-entries defined in base-files/Makefile.

For the moment I can copy the files by hand, but it would really help if there would be an automated way to use the external OpenWrt toolchain.

Thanks :-)

Now you only need one patch to fix this:
