If:

1. Toolchains A and B have the same filename
2. Toolchain A is in the PATH
3. Toolchain B is given in ~/.buildman and buildman uses it to build

then buildman will add toolchain B to the end of its path but will not
necessarily use it since U-Boot will find toolchain A first in the PATH.

Try to fix this by putting the toolchain first in the path instead of
last.

The assumption that the compiler name will always end in gcc is incorrect
for clang and apparently on BSD.

Buildman currently lacks testing in many areas, including its use of git,
make and many command-line flags.

Add a functional test which covers some of these areas. So far it does
a fake 'build' of all boards for the current source tree.

This version reads the real ~/.buildman and boards.cfg files. Future work
will improve this.

These characters are commonly used in variables, so permit them. Also
document the permitted characters.

'-elf' appears twice in the toolchain priority_list.
The second one is rudundant.

Toolchains.__init__ is expected to display a warning message
when the [toolchain] section is missing from ~/.buildman file.
But it never works.
In that case, instead, buildmain fails with an error message
which is difficult to understand:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "tools/buildman/buildman", line 126, in <module>
      control.DoBuildman(options, args)
    File "/home/foo/u-boot/tools/buildman/control.py", line 78, in DoBuildman
      toolchains = toolchain.Toolchains()
    File "/home/foo/u-boot/tools/buildman/toolchain.py", line 106, in __init__
    config_fname)

When a toolchain invocation fails, an exception is thrown but not caught
which then aborts the entire toolchain detection process. To solve this,
request that exceptions not be thrown, since the toolchain init code
already error-checks the command result. This solves e.g.:

         - found '/usr/bin/winegcc'
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Exception: Error running '/usr/bin/winegcc --version'

There are a few make options such as BUILD_TAG which can be provided when
building U-Boot. Provide a way for buildman to pass these flags to make
also.

The flags should be in a [make-flags] section and arranged by target name
(the 'target' column in boards.cfg. See the README for more details.

This tool handles building U-Boot to check that you have not broken it
with your patch series. It can build each individual commit and report
which boards fail on which commits, and which errors come up. It also
shows differences in image sizes due to particular commits.

Buildman aims to make full use of multi-processor machines.

Documentation and caveats are in tools/buildman/README.
