Conflict with homebrew/core

[Kyle-Ye]

Description

Since homebrew treat "i386-elf-binutils" as an old and deprecated name for "x86_64-elf-binutils", there is some confusion for homebrew if we install both x86_64-elf-binutils and nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain/i386-elf-binutils

How to reproduce

At first I do the following, and everything is OK.

brew install x86_64-elf-binutils
brew install x86_64-elf-gcc
brew tap nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain
brew install nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain/i386-elf-binutils
brew install nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain/i386-elf-gcc

Then when I try to do brew install nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain/i386-elf-gdb, it gives me the following error

Error: x86_64-elf-binutils from homebrew/core is given, but old name i386-elf-binutils was installed from nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain.
Please try to use fully-qualified nativeos/i386-elf-toolchain/i386-elf-binutils to refer to the formula.
To force migration, run:
  brew migrate --force i386-elf-binutils
Error: undefined method `core_tap?' for nil:NilClass

Full log

Though homebrew gives error about it, I can still successfully install gdb.

I'll have a look on it. I've already namespaced binutils and gcc but I still haven't checked that gdb and grub are up to date and namespaced.

Just experienced this:
I need to build a project which requires x86_64-elf-gcc, so I installed it.
Then build another project which required i386-elf-gcc... somehow it conflicted with x86_64-elf gcc so got automatically removed.
