Summary: Inconsistent placement of "/gnu/" in GNU mirror path
Description:
An example download path of a GNU tool looks like this
"http://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/gnu/binutils/". The problem is that some packages
expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR, while other
packages expect the "/gnu/" segment to be part of the package-specific
download location. As a result, it is not possible to set BR2_GNU_MIRROR
in such a way that all GNU packages can be downloaded.
I grepped the source tree and the majority of packages expects "/gnu/" in
the package-specific download location. Therefore I changed the Makefiles
of the packages that expected "/gnu/" to be part of BR2_GNU_MIRROR. A
patch containing those changes is attached to this bug report.
If the opposite approach is desired ("/gnu/" in BR2_GNU_MIRROR), let me
know and I'll create a patch for that instead.

I'd vote for having "/gnu/" included in BR2_GNU_MIRROR
