[yocto] [PATCH 1/1] poky-tiny: Separate the libc features required for meta-toolchain

[Darren Hart]

This fixes bug [YOCTO #2295]

eglibc needs libc-posix-regexp-glibc & libc-libm-big enabled in its
configuration to avoid following eglibc build issue. Thanks to
Nitin for identifying the required features.

    ...
    | In file included from xregex.c:634:0:
    | xregex.c: In function 'byte_regex_compile':
    | xregex.c:3395:8: error: too few arguments to function 'findidx'
    | ../locale/weight.h:23:1: note: declared here
    ...

The libc features added to support building meta-toolchain add 461KB to the C
libraries. 320KB directly to libc (a 32% increase in size). If not building
meta-toolchain, the user should be able to easily configure these out.

Create a new variable to capture these dependencies,
DISTRO_FEATURES_LIBC_TOOLCHAIN, keeping them separate from the core tiny
requirements. Make it clear how to disable these if meta-toolchain is not
needed.

This patch has been tested by running the following for the qemux86 machine with
DISTRO=poky-tiny:

    $ bitbake -c cleansstate eglibc
    $ bitbake meta-toolchain
    $ bitbake core-image-minimal

The libc comparisons were made from core-image-minimal ext2 filesystems build
before and after the applicaiton of this patch and Nitin's previous poky-tiny
libc features patch in support of meta-toolchain:
