Thomas Petazzoni d0f4f95e39 Makefile: rework main directory creation logic
In the current code, the creation of the main output directories
(BUILD_DIR, STAGING_DIR, HOST_DIR, TARGET_DIR, etc.) is done by a
global "dirs" target. While this works fine in the current situation,
it doesn't work well in a context where per-package host and target
directories are used.

For example, with the current code and per-package host directories,
the output/staging symbolic link ends up being created as a link to
the per-package package sysroot directory of the first package being
built, instead of the global sysroot.

This commit reworks the creation of those directories by having the
package/pkg-generic.mk code ensure that the build directory, target
directory, host directory, staging directory and binaries directory
exist before they are needed.

Two new targets, host-finalize and staging-finalize are added in the
main Makefile to create the compatibility symlinks for host and
staging directories. They will be extended later with additional logic
for per-package directories.

Thanks to those changes, the global "dirs" target is entirely removed.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
