Change BR2_HOST_NEEDS_JAVA to BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA as it makes more
sense.
The host doesn't need Java but Buildroot needs the host to have
Java in order to build the package that select this option.

XBMC needs Java on the host in order to build, because it uses a
code-generator which is built in two phases: In the first phase SWIG is used
to parse C++ header files that define the API. SWIG outputs an XML file
that contains a complete description of the structure of the API. In the
second phase, the XML file is ingested by a Groovy (Java) program that then
creates C++ code that forms the bridge to the scripting language (Python).
The second phase is why we need java on the host.
You can learn more at the XBMC's wiki:

To make the naming consistent (all user-visible options should be

An entry is added to Makefile.legacy to warn users who have set
BUILDROOT_CONFIG but not BR2_CONFIG.
Still export BUILDROOT_CONFIG but pointing to some phony value, to
make sure that scripts that still use it fail in a predictable way.

If the grub package is selected it also selects
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER. This triggers a test in dependencies.sh
to verify the host compiler can build 32 bit executables. Currently this
test does not set any output for the compiler which causes a stray a.out
to be create outside the output directory. This patch sets the compiler
output to /dev/null so no a.out is created but the test is still performed.

'printf' was introduced because it is more portable than 'echo -e'. But
when the escape sequences are just newlines we can just as well use
plain 'echo' (and remove the newline escape sequences).
This looks cleaner than having some lines with echo and some with
printf.

support/dependencies/dependencies.sh uses #!/bin/sh shebang. It is not
guaranteed that /bin/sh provides an 'echo' implementation that
understands the '-e' flag (interpret backslash escape chars). For
example, dash doesn't.
'printf' is more portable (it must interpret backslash escape chars,
according to POSIX), so use that.
NOTE: Before the previous commit, the dependencies.sh script used
/bin/echo instead of the shell built-in. That's probably why this hasn't
come up before.

Some bootloaders (such as Grub) need to be built for x86 (i.e IA32)
even if the target architecture is x86-64. However, when the target
architecture is x86-64, the cross-compiler generated by Buildroot is
not able to generate 32 bits code.
To solve this, we will rely on the host compiler being a x86 + x86-64
compiler. Therefore, this commit introduces the
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_COMPILER option, which tells the dependency
checking logic to verify that the host compiler is indeed capable of
building x86 32 bits code.

Since the addition of root password setting support in buildroot, there have
been a few bug reports in this area ([1], [2]). In these cases, the system
mkpasswd did either not work, or did not provide the options we expect, like
-m <method>.
This patch adds a mkpasswd host package, based on the sources from whois. When
a non-empty root password is set, this package is used as a dependency.

Since a few kernel releases, having 'bc' installed is mandatory to

Since this tool is generally available by default in distributions,

just check for it to be installed in

This reverts commit d66cd067f3.
SSL certificates are no always installed in /etc/ssl/certs. For example, on
CentOS 5.6 the default OpenSSL certificates directory is /etc/pki/tls/certs,
and wget can download using https without any problem.
Moreover, the existence of /etc/ssl/certs does not guarantee the presence of a
CA certificates bundle even on Debian. On my current Debian testing
installation the openssl package itself creates an empty /etc/ssl/certs
directory.

Some packages are hosted on https:// servers, and wget only works on
these if the SSL certificates are installed. For example, downloading

awk, bison, flex, makeinfo, gettext should be built as dependencies of
packages when needed. In practice, even the toolchain build doesn't
need any of these, and only a few packages do require them.
It is not needed to list gzip and bzip2 since they are already checked
through ${DL_TOOLS}: whenever a package needs gzip or bzip2 for its
extraction, the dependency is added.

Many users trying to use external toolchains on x86-64 machines get a
very confusing message:
"Can't execute cross-compiler"
They get this message because they forgot to install the 32 bits
compatibility libraries that are needed to run binaries compiled for
x86 on x86-64 machines.
Since this is the case for both external toolchains and certain
binary-only tools like SAM-BA, we add a new Kconfig option
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS, that packages must select if they need
the 32 bits compatibility libraries. When this option is enabled,
dependencies.sh checks that the 32 bits dynamic library loader is
present on the system, and if not, it stops and shows an error.
The path and name of the 32 bits dynamic loader is hardcoded because
it is very unlikely to change, as it would break the ABI for all
binaries.
Also, it is worth noting that the check will be done even if we're
running on a 32 bits machine. This is harmless, as 32 bits machines
necessarily have the 32 bits dynamic loader installed, so the error
will never show up in this case.

Add an option in the menuconfig to specify a root password.
If set to empty, no root password is created; otherwise, the password is
encrypted using MD5 (MD5 is not the default for crypt(3), DES-56 is, but
MD5 is widely available, not-so-strong, but not-so-weak either).
Add a check for 'mkpasswd' as a new dependency.
