Currently, following symbolic links are created in both target and
staging directories:
- lib(32|64) --> lib
- usr/lib(32|64) --> lib

The decision for lib32 or lib64 is based on the target architecture
configuration in buildroot (BR2_ARCH_IS_64).

In at least one case this is not correct: when building for a Cavium Octeon
III processor using the toolchain from the Cavium Networks SDK, and
specifying -march=octeon3 in BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION, libraries are expected
in directory 'lib32-fp' rather than 'lib32' (likewise for lib64-fp).

More generally, for external toolchains, the correct symbolic link is
from (usr/)${ARCH_LIB_DIR} to lib. For internal toolchains, current
toolchains always use either lib32 or lib64.

Feedback from Arnout Vandecappelle is that there are packages that do depend
on the lib32/lib64 symlink, even if ARCH_LIB_DIR is different. Hence, these
must be kept.

Fix the problem as follows:
- For internal toolchains: no functional change, but move the symlink
  creation from Makefile to package gcc-initial.
- For external toolchains: create a symlink creation helper in
  toolchain/helpers.mk, which first creates lib32->lib or lib64->lib as
  appropriate, and then creates ARCH_LIB_DIR->lib if that is different from
  lib32/lib64.

v9:
- remove redundant mkdir's (handled by skeleton) (Yann)
v8:
- use helper only for external toolchain and incorporate ARCH_LIB_DIR
  definition (Arnout)
- keep lib32/lib64->lib symlink anyway
v7: rebase
v6: rebase only
v5:
- move internal toolchain logic into gcc-initial.mk
- also silence the internal toolchain link steps with $(Q)
v4:
- merge both helpers into one
- remove the separate target for the internal toolchain and hook into
  gcc-initial
- re-add deleted comment about MIPS64/n32
v3:
- update commit message wrapping
- change dependency on $(BUILD_DIR) to a order-only dependency
v2:
- fix 'lib32-fp' leftover in toolchain-buildroot
- silence commands creating symlink with $(Q)
- fix case where ARCH_LIB_DIR is 'lib'

Note: in output/staging/usr/ there would still be more directories than I
think are really necessary. This behavior is not changed by this patch, it
was already present before.
For example, with the mentioned Octeon III toolchain, output/staging/usr/
contains:
    bin      bin32      bin32-fp      bin64-fp,
    lib                 lib32-fp      lib64-fp
    libexec  libexec32  libexec32-fp  libexec64-fp
    sbin     sbin32     sbin32-fp     sbin64-fp

where bin/lib/libexec/sbin seem to be the 64-bit equivalents of
bin32/lib32/libexec32/sbin32.
This is related to the behavior of copy_toolchain_sysroot in
toolchain/helpers.mk. It already attempts to filter out lib32 and lib64, but
does not care about any bin/sbin/libexec directories, nor about such names
as lib32-fp.
As the behavior is not changed by this patch, and as I'm not fully aware
about which directories are really needed in all cases, I am not touching
this area.
