binutils got disabled as a target package for aarch64 back in Buildroot
2012.11 (commit 660d16f4).
The default version 2.21.1 at the time didn't really support aarch64, as
shown by the autobuilder error reference in that commit.
binutils has now had support for aarch64 since 2.23, but was never
re-enabled for aarch64.
All of the binutils versions currently supported by Buildroot (oldest
being 2.24) support aarch64, so we can now enable it without any
restrictions.
This same patch also touches the dropwatch, lightning and oprofile
packages which all select binutils and had the 'depends on !aarch64' to
keep Kconfig consistent. They are now re-enabled for aarch64 as well.
They are changed in this same patch so that Kconfig is kept consistent
and doesn't end up having them disabled in a commit which only has the
binutils change applied.
lightning has other explicit arch dependencies so it is not actually yet
available in aarch64, but at least the dependency on !aarch64 because of
binutils is not needed anymore.
Everything has been build tested with Buildroot and external toolchains.
binutils and dropwatch work fine in a qemu target. oprofile doesn't seem
to be supported in the qemu aarch64 processor but builds fine and seems
to have some level of aarch64 support in the source, so there doesn't
seem to be a reason to keep it disabled in Kconfig.

binutils starting at least from 2.23 when build for target require
uClibc configured with UCLIBC_HAS_WCHAR otherwise:
libtool: link: [...] -o as-new [...]
read.o: In function `read_symbol_name':
read.c:(.text+0x3634): undefined reference to `mbstowcs'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
because "mbstowcs" is not available in the C library.
Even though we're not yet using 2.23.2 as the default version, we will
probably do it in the near future, so this commit doesn't bother with
making the wchar dependency version-specific, and applies it to the
binutils package as a whole.
Fixes bug #6218
[Thomas:
- more details in the commit log.
- add comment about the wchar dependency
- propagate the dependency to dropwatch (and fix a mistake in the
architecture dependencies of the comment)
- propagate the dependency to oprofile.]

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

From now on, packages only need to select the BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT
option and depend on the 'gettext' package to get the necessary i18n
libraries installed on the target.
