[Buildroot] Errors about BX when building toolchain under latest buildroot

[Buildroot] Errors about BX when building toolchain under latest buildroot

[hayate]

Hi,

Latest buildroot buildroot-2012.11.1
choose: arm-LittleEndian, generic arm, OABI, gcc 4.6.3, uClibc-0.9.33.1

Others are unchanged

Then encounter errors saying that BX is not available on the target
processor

However changing to uClibc from 0.9.33 to 0.9.31 makes building successful.

Is this a bug? Should that USE_BX or 0.9.33 be disabled when selecting
generic arm?

Yes, sounds like a bug. Ancient ARM variants didn't have the BX
instruction, so we should fixup uclibc.mk to enable/disable USE_BX
depending on if the variant has it.
