69b2360241 Revert "dependencies: ensure that DESTDIR isn't set when running Buildroot"
We should instead simply unset it at runtime, like we do for
PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

This reverts commit 9910eba33a.

9910eba33a dependencies: ensure that DESTDIR isn't set when running Buildroot
Having DESTDIR set in the environment before running Buildroot creates
some funky problems in the build process. Prevent users from running
into this kind of troubles.

fd10b42ab8 dependencies: build a host-tar if no suitable tar can be found
Some toolchains, like the one built with buildroot itself, use hardlinks (for
example to link between the c++ and g++ binary). Unpacking such a toolchain
with the --strip-components options does not work correctly if the system tar
is too old (<1.17). Even recent releases of RedHat/CentOS still ship with
tar 1.15.

This patch checks for a suitable tar version (tar 1.17+) on the host system,
and adds host-tar to the host dependencies if none can be found.

host-tar is download and extracted as cpio.gz instead of tar.gz, to prevent
chicken-egg problem.

1bbf39bd73 dependencies: add function suitable-host-package
Sometimes, buildroot needs a certain host tool to do its job, e.g. tar. In
many cases, we expect this tool to be present on the host system, but this is
not always the case. Or maybe, the version on the host system is not
suitable, and we need a more recent one.

In some of these cases, instead of bailing out, buildroot could build the
package first (but only if the existing system package is not suitable).

To aid in detecting if a host package is suitable or not, this patch adds a
function suitable-host-package. When called with parameter foo, it will
execute check-host-foo.sh. This script should return either the path to the
suitable host package, or the empty string if no suitable package can be found.
The rules to determine whether something is suitable or not is left to
check-host-foo.sh and depends on foo.

An example usage of suitable-host-package is:
DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ += $(if $(call suitable-host-package,foo),,host-foo)

To avoid cluttering the existing dependencies.mk file, it includes any
check-host-foo.mk file. These files can be used to hold appropriate
dependency-related actions for foo.

a792668b58 dependencies: move from toolchain/ to support/
As suggested by Arnout Vandecappelle, move toolchain/dependencies to
support/dependencies, as it really is not toolchain-specific anymore.
