testing uclibc changes is tricky because the final gcc tends to miscompile
uclibc code or barf up internal compiler errors.
install binutils into $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/initial (without changing the configure
prefix) and copy it from there to $(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/ so that the initial gcc
can be put into $(PATH) for the uclibc build, even if the final gcc
is already installed.

Despite Westwood's theoretical advantages, in nearly
every benchmark we ran last year, TCP cubic won, whether it be
on correct RTT estimates, amount of buffering, responsiveness,
etc. on current hardware and software designs.
(both need timestamps on to work well, besides)
TCP cubic is better maintained and understood than westwood,
also.
While a scenario where westwood would win possibly exists,
there is too much buffering in the wifi stack in particular
at present, to see any improvement.
If you wish to exercise various TCPs under contention,
the current svn head of netperf (2.6) has options to switch
congestion control agorithms on the fly, as does iperf.

A year of testing in the cerowrt project shows not using timestamps
to be a very bad idea in nearly any TCP at speeds above a few Mbit.
Lastly sack/dsack help on recovery from larger amounts of packet
loss.

Hardware filtering must always be enabled as long as there is an Ethernet
device registered, and use device tree for setting the link activity and
buffer shifting enable/disable bit.

This target currently only supports Moschip's MCS8140 SoC, but support
for other chips in the same family (MCS8142, MCS8144) will be easy to add.
Target support is entirely using Device Tree for probing peripherals.
Drivers support include:
- PCI
- USB 1 & 2
- watchdog
- random number generator
- UART
- timer
- internal Ethernet PHY
- Ethernet MAC core
Support for the following boards is included using Device Tree
- Devolo dLAN USB Extender
- Tigal RBT-832
