aarch64 cross bootstrap for debian/ubuntu
Start working on the cross-bootstrap for aarch64 on debian/ubuntu. Goal is to use the cross build and multiarch support to generate the minimum rootfs needed to be used later as a native build environment (specially for packages that can't be easily cross-buildable, such as apache).
Goal:
- Use the internal gcc from arm until the 4.7 based branch is available (with packages and such)
- Start building the minimal list of packages to be used as a base platform
- Publish the build results, bugs and fixes for external usage

Whiteboard
[rsalveti, Sep 4, 2012] there's definitelyly more work to be covered that can be done during this cycle, but we can split it out later if needed.
[wookey,Sep 17 2012] Building anything non-trivial for armhf control case blocked by https:/
[rsalveti, Sep 26, 2012] Same as for the OE specific blueprint, due external blockers and requirements, this blueprint will not be completed in time. It should be moved to 12.10, and get it done by Connect (with a proposal for a demo).
[dzin, Sep 28, 2012] Move to 12.10 for reasons cited above.
[wookey, 2012-10-19] Toolchains, tools, repo and docs available:

[rsalveti, Oct 24, 2012] I think this blueprint is mostly done, as we finally got the cross compiler in place with all needed dependencies. Now it's a matter of building packages and bootstrapping the rootfs for real, but should be tracked by another blueprint. Wookey, please confirm.
[wookey, 2012-10-25] Yes. It transmogrifed this month somewhat from originally using internal toolchain only to including an open toolchain build, as agreed at armv8 sprint. And yes that stage is done, so is a good place to split the initial repo opening and toolchain bootstrap from further package building.
[fboudra, 2012-12-20] Some Wis delivered for 12.12. Carrie over the remaining WIs and re-target to 13.01
