[OE-core] [PATCH 0/6] Misc changes relating to toolchain and image gen

[Mark Hatle]

A few misc fixes relating to toolchain and image generation.

The first two in the set simply updated gcc to remove the -symlinks package
in favor of update-alternatives.

The next fixes an issue w/ the previous binutils patch and upgrades.

Next 2 update packagegroups to make revise and use the 
packagegroup-core-buildessentials.

The final patch fixes an issue w/ the image generatation.  If the 
IMAGE_INSTALL contains a dependency instead of a package name, the system
was not able to translate it into a package.  This now works properly.

Note, there is a case where an unresolvable set could be determined (rare,
but it is possible), in this case the user would need to add whatever is
required to fix it to the IMAGE_INSTALL.  (This could happen when 2 or more
conflicting packages all have the same provide, but none of them are in
the IMAGE_INSTALL line.  The system will attempt to determine which to
use, by checking if any of them are already in the IMAGE_INSTALL -- otherwise
it chooses the first entry.  If something else implied by a packagegroup
chooses a different version, a conflict would be generated.)

The following changes since commit 616354f13732d13c17434d5b60b166f691c25761:

  binutils: Add gnu-config-native to DEPENDS (2013-11-12 16:00:20 +0000)
